WILLARD NoRyELL,s CASE.
Judge Bradley Thinks His Application Looks
Like Bad Faith.

Like BAD fAtth.
II has been stated in The STAR that Willard
g. Norvell, the treasury clerk convicted De-
cember IL last and sentenced to pay q fnc, was
about to seek release through the poor con-
victs' act.
This action was taken on Saturday by appii-
cation to United States Commissioner c. A.
Brandenburg and the latter fixed this after
noon, at o'clock, to hear and determine the
motion.
This morning District Attorney Cole applied
to Justice Bradley for the issuance of a writ
Of certiorari on the commissioner TO bring the
case up for review and an order was directed
granting the writ, making it returnable at
o'clock. The petition for the writ
says that the commissioner is without jurisdic-
ton. first because the sentence is imprison-
ment until the fine be paid, and second, be-
cause the section, 1042, pertains to convictions
only and not by the Supreme Court
OF the United States, and "poor

where no is imprisoned and the District of

AT O'Clock Mr.. Armes, assistant district at

question was one AS to the jurisdiction of tho
commissioner and he suggested that it might
be well to secure the decision of the General
Term and the case might be certified. Mr..
French his counsel, was not, however. present.
The court said that perhaps the matter had
better be postponed till Mr.. French was pres

The case struck him as one of very bad faith.

IN FAVOR or THE RAILROAD.
Decision in Regard to Mail Compensation
Over Partly Aided EailrOads.

Decision in Regard to Mail Compensation
Over Partly Aided Railroads.
The United States Supreme Court today
affirmed the decision of tho Court of Claims in
favor of the Alabama Great Southern Railroad
Company for S4.620 withheld from the rail-
road company by order of the Postmaster
General under the act of 1876, declaring
that railroads constructed in whole or
IN part by land grant shall for mail transport
tation receive only so per cent of the conlpen-
sation authorized. The Postmaster General
ruled that the act applied to such parts of a
railroad as had been aided by lands and
not to unaided portions. This construction
continued until 1885, when Postmaster
General Villas reversed the ruling of
his predecessors and decided that
the act applied to the whole line of a railroad
which had been aided by land grants for part
OF Its line. subjecting the entire line of the Ala
bama Great Southern Company to the reduced
rates and made the act retroactive. The court, in
al opinion by Justice Brown in favor of the rail-
road, says that it thinks the construction
given the act by six different administrations of
the Post Office Department Ga construction
certainly consorting with the equities of the
CASEY should be considered as decisive in this
suit.
The opinion says it is a settled doctrine of
the court that i'll case of ambiguity the Judi
clal department will lean in favor of con-
struction given to a statute by the department
charged with its execution, and. if such con-

An English Physician Says Women Must
Marry or Take q Profession.
From the New York Sun.
DR.. Arabella kenealy. noted physician of
London, has, from her special practical medi-
cal experience among women, deduced the
theory that women must make a choice be-
tween professional and married life. She says:
women should not attempt to carry on
profession after marriage. mean the women
of the upper and middle classes who go into
the professions. 1t is not necessary that they
should be the bread winners; that duty should
devolve upon the husband, and I am con-
fdent that the rising generation would be
healthier and stronger in every way if
tho mothers would exert themselves less.
look anxiously at every baby that
comes under my notice in the hope that
shall find some improvement in the type,
some increase in stamina, compared with tho
generation that has preceded 1t; but instead
OF this there is only steady deterioration OBJ
servable. This deterioration is particularly
noticeable among the children of very active
mothers. The cleverest and most highly edu-
Gated women, the women who take the most
active part in public affairs have the most
weakly and puny children. Another thing,
women are going into too active forms OF exer-
else. When young married woman tells me
that she is captain of a cricket eleven or a foot
ball team l can only say am perfectly aghast.
Women must place before themselves the alter
native, to earn their living, to exercise their
faculties and to crafty their ambitions in a
professional career or to become good wives
and mothers and if they choose the domestic
life they must recognize that they must sacri-
flee their personal happiness and ambition in

that no demoiselle with less than 1000 liyres a
year should have more than one pair Of gowns

THE pHnLrrs-sMrrH MURDER TRIAL.


Tho court house was again thronged thii
morning at the renewal Of the trial of Jeffer.
son Phillips for the murder of Geo. s. Smith
The prosecution on Saturday evening con-
cluded its testimony in chief. having estab-
lished the fact Of the shooting. the evidence OF
the afternoon having been similar to that of the
morning. as reported in THE STAR, except that
an effort was made to prove affirnat;vely
malice aforethought and lying in wait.
The law OF Virginia declares that murder
by poison. lying in wait, starvation or any will
ful, deliberate and premeditated killing
Is murder In the first degree. All other muir
der Is murder in the second degree"
As the homicide would, if not justified or ex-
cused, be murder in the second degree unless
Fermentation was proven the prosecution pre-
sented testimony to show that Phillips had
shortly before the homicide visited a cigar
store where he would be likely to meet Smith,
&c The defense opened Its case this morning
and presented the testimony OF occurrences
which would be likely to incense Phillips
against Smith. An effort was made to show
how Smith had prosecuted Phillips, had him
arrested. &C., and had short time before the
homicide boasted of his triumphs over the sis
ter of Phillips, the latter boast being commune
Gated to Phillips a short time before the shoot
ing. &c: The testimony for the defense will be
concluded tomorrow and the trial will probably
end this week.
