The General Term of the Supreme
Court yesterday handed down a decision
overturning the verdict OF jury in the
Court Of General Sessions, convicting
Thomas f. Wynn for pool selling at No.
Barclay street. The decision holds
that, the oct oftsking money In the city.
to place on horses at the race tracks does
not violate the gambling laws.
An officer went into Wynn'B place and
wanted TO place S. on the horse Ford.
ham at SheepshsRd Bay. Wynn re-
fused TO acceptit, but offered to take the
s. aud place 1t at the track for twenty
five cents extra. The officer paid the
S. % and then arrested Wynn. he was
tried and convicted in the Court Of Gen.
eral Sessions. Wynn did not put in any
evidence on the trial, his counsel con.
tending that the act which the prosecu'
tion had proven did not constitute q
violation OF the law. The General Term
holds that Wyun's contention was cor
rect.
The whole business OF judicial decis-
ions with regard to these questions Ia
based on a iallacy. Judge Gilderbleeve
was criticised In the beginning Of the
year for doing what the general term
hiss done because 1t was apparent that
he had allowed himself to be governed
too much By the letter Of the law, TO the
utter disregard OF la spirit. The Intent
Of the law was 10 stop tho poolroom
nuisance in New York, and every
child knew that this so-called com
mission business was nothing more
or less than an evasion. Under
Judge Gilderslesves decision poolroon'
continued to thrive, though u was no
torious that their Commissions" were
simply bets, made hours too late to bt
executed at any race track. II Is trul
that their business WAs conducted secret
| ly, behind closed doors, bnt all their pa
irons knew where TO find them, auC
knew, moreover, that every dollar IN
vested with them as commissions was II

Some Views OF DuSiheas Mon on tho Way u
Develop Commerce.
In recent calls on merchants and
Others, IETELLroRScRR reporters ssked
several business men for suggestions as
to how the ciss's iobbing trade and re.
tail trade might be increased. Several
gentlemen suggested the opening of the
resources of The State generally, Others
the building Of railroads to new fields,
etc,
ohe gentlemen suggested that the
business men form an association for the
purpose Of acknowledgements to coun.
try merchants and. others to come to the
city, with guides paid to show 70 stran-
gers the attractive points in and about
Wheeling, and occasional free excursions
over the railroads into the city.
It was also suggested that the mer.
chants club together and invest q part Of
their profits in new enterprises in the
city, simply as businesS Investments,
Which, II they do not bring dividends,
will increase the population and in that
way pay the investors.
Ellt was also suggested that the mer-
chants form o sort Of mercantile club
where q country merchant or other Gus.
toner or guest may be taken for a meal
or other entertainment. The great aim
OF il all Is TO induce the outside buyers
to come to town aud buy their stocks
while here.
Another gentleman remarked that
there are two or three lines wherein the
jobbing trade OF Wheeling is very weak
There arc several lines which cannot be
bought to advantage in Wheeling, hence
the merchant goes to q city where he
can buy his whole stock.
When Col. Jacob Snyder was asked
what was needed to improve the buai.
ness OF Wheeling, he replied: Energy;
don't sit and waltz Healso talked en-
tertainingly about the business men OF
Wheeling, remarking that thereare more
self-made men In the city than in any
city OF ber size in the country.
Mr.. Snyder said that when no went 10
bed New Years eve, he would not owe
a dollar in the world. His goods in
transit and everything in tho world that
he is responsible for would be paid for.

reer ON tue Turf.
Rathiag!OH star.
The death OF the famous trotting stall
ion smugeler, occurred at HornersVille,
n. Y, on Saturday. The story Of Snug.
sIer's csseer on the turf is one that was
sensational in the extreme, and his con-
version from a three.miuute PAGER into
the then king Of the trotting turf was
the means Of bringing into prominence
Charles Marvin, who is now the man
aQer and trainer OF Senator Staniord's
Palo Alto farm. Smuggler was foaled IN
1866, being bred by Josiah Morgan, OF
Columbus, o He was by Blanco, q son
Of Irons Cadmus, out OF pacing mare
bred in Virginia.
In 1872 Morgan put him In Marvin's
hands for development. MsFyin sue
ceeded in converting the horse into q
true gated trotter, but not until he had
shod him with two.pound shoes on each
front hoof. When he was all right Mr.
Marvin took him to New York, as Mr..
Bonner talked OF purchasing him, and
Marvin trotted him over the Prospect
Park track, three heats, in 3 l94, 2 22l3
and 22l, Mr.. Bonner, "Unele Sim"
Holland and George o. Hopkins timing
him. For some reason Mr.. Bonner
would not,buy him, and Col. II. 5. Rus.
sell, of Milton, Mass, bought him for
$50 900 September |, 1873.
Tho following year Smuggler made a
sensational campaign and record OF
2:2OS in the famous stallion race at
Buffalo, won by Thomas Jefferson. This
he lowered to 2.2O in the Boston stallion
race later on, thus equaling the stallion
record. In 1876 he reduced this TO 2:l7
at Belmont Park, Philadelphia, making a
new stallion record. In July Of the
same year he defeated the hitherto in.

Amsterdam Bankers Again Eater Suit
Against the Board Of Liquidation.

Amstsrdam Bankers Again Eater Suit
Against the Board Of OfLiquidation.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec, Sl.-Messrs. Hope
& Co., Amsterdam bankers, yesterday
filed suit against the Board Of Liquida-
ton of the State of Louisiana, praying
that the said Board iund, 9,042 bonds Of
the State, amounting to over S4.OOO,OOO,
into consolidated bonds.
1t will be remembered thet the plain.
tiffs, about IS months ago, filed similar
suit, which was tried before Judge Ellis,
who rendered decision adverse to the
PLAINTIFF, on the ground that no formal
application had been made to the Board
OF Liquidation to fund the bonds. The
case was appealed to the Supreme Court,
which tribunal sustained the decision OF
the lower court.
The Board OF Liquidation met two
weeks ago and refused to fund the bonds,
hence the application to the courts.
