SUNDAY NEWSPAPERS.

TheWer Against Persons Selling Them
Still in Progress at PitrsburE.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Jan. 29.-Robert Nc
Clure, agent Of the Law and Order League,
renewed his crusade against the Sunday
newspapers to-day by entering informe ton
against fftesn persons for selling papers on
Sunday. The victims are principally en-
ployes of the Union News Company. A
number Of informetions were also made
against carriers for desecrstion of the Sab
bath under the law Of 1894. Over 100 in
formations are now held by Alderman
Robe and the hearings will take
place next week. 1t is understood
that the society intends to railroad
fifty of the cases throught at on sitting. So
far Mr.. Mcclure has confined himself to
warnings against the carriers, newsboys,
newsdeaIers and employees Of the business
departments on papers who work on Sun
day. The writer's. compositors and press
men have not been interfered with, but it
is understood that their turn will come later,
if the courts decide the appealed cases in
favor. of the Law and Order people. The
newspapers, newsdealers and news COM
panies have combined and will stnbDornly
contest the legality of the prosecutions.

GLENN'S LAW NOT LEGAL
COUNTY TAXATION OF RAILROADS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Counties That Beve Collected Apt to
Be Called Upon to Refund the
Amount to Railroads-The Case OF
the Columbus Southern Road to Be
Reheard on the Third Monday in
Next Month.
ATLANTA, GA. Jan. 29.-Some time ago
the supreme court ordered the case Of tbs
Columbus Southern Railroad Company
against the controller general reargued
and the date set was the third Monday in
February. This is the test case which in-
wolves the oonstitutionality of the Glenn
law for county taxation Of railroads. While
the case is to be reargued a state house
officer. who is in position TO know what
he is talking about, made the statement to-
day that the supreme court would un-
doubtedly declare the law unconstitutional
In fact he said that the court had already
arrived at that conclusion under the evi-
dence and argument that had been 80
far advanced, and there is scarcely the
shadow of a chance that their opinion will
be reversed when the argument is heard
again, the former argument having been
exhaustive in the extreme
IMPORTANCE OF THE DECISION.
The annulling Of this law means great
deal to the state and to the railroads.
Counties in which large railroad properties
are situated will be deprived OF consider
able revenue. the non-payment Of which
will relieve the railroads Of a heavy item OF
expense, as under the law they are subject
to taxation by the different counties the
same as other property. Controller
General Wright says there can be no doubt
as to the unconstitutionality of the law.
MUST REFUND THE MONEY.
In addition to the importance of the an-
nulling Of the law, there is another point
involved that will cause some complication
when final decision is rendered. IL the
law is declared unconstitutional the roads
which have paid the tax 1t imposes are en-
titled to have it refunded, This is likely to
cause some trouble, as there is no written
law to authorize such proceeding and the
legislature will have to take hand. Some
Of the counties have already used the money
and when the refunding manifesto is issued
there will be lively scratching fer funds.

man made spring from the cab
for the tender. Missing his footing he was
ground into IA jelly by the engine, which,
though cut loose. had not ceased moving in
the direction of the train. A bystander said
that the sound of breaking bones made him
sick. The breaking OF the negro's bones
was heard above the roar of the train half
across the square. To say that the body was
badly mangled does not convey any idea of
its condition 1t was broken, rolled.
mashed. squeezed, torn, gashed, and tue
bones compounded and comminuted. Cole-
man was about 40 years old.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The antl-Pink-
erton resolution introduced by Representa-
tive Watson of Georgia was the subject Of
much discussion in the House committee on
the judiciary this morning. The farmers
alliance representative made strong ar
gument Ia favor of mis- resolution, and In
sisted that it was the duty of congress to
Investigate thoroughly the abuses that had
grown up under the praotiees-of Pinkerton-
ism, and take prompt steps to suppress this
quasi-militia organization, which had been
fostered by capitalists alone and which, as
the paid agent Of monopoly, was constant
menace to the liberty OF the common peo-
pie.
OATES AGAINST IT.
Mr.. Oates of Alabama asked some per-
tinent questions Of Mr.. Watson, and, while
disclaiming any desire to defend the prac-
tree OF the Pinkertons, expressed some
doubts as to the ability of congress to legis-
late upon this subject, which he considered
a matter only to be regulated or suppressed
by the various state legislatures. The mem
bers of the committee generally seemed to
share the opinion of MIR. Oates, and it is
likely THAT the resolution OF Mr. Watson
will be reported untavorably. In that
event Mr.. Watson aud his farmer alliance
colleagues express their intention OF carry
ing the fight TO the House, and insisting
upon a thorough investigation OF the
methods of the Pinkerton agency.
TENOR OF THE RESOLUTION.
Representative Wetson's resolution in.
structs the committee on the judiciary TO
Investigate as quickly and as fully as pos
sible tbs character, bylaws, rules and regu-
lations of the Plnkerton Detective Agency,
its organization, forces, purposes methods
and operations and report TO the House the
methods of that agency, the number of
armed men it can utilize ia carrying out
its purpose. the manner in which
these armed men can be hired by capitalists
to quell so~called disturbances among their
laborers, the extent to which these armed
mon, when so employed, are under the CON-
troi or influence Of capitalists, and. there
fore, acting as militia Of those capitalists to
carry out their private aims. regardless of
what may be the merits of the dispute
with laborers" The resolution further
directed the committee to report
whether the Pinkerton agency is not prac-
tically irresponsible for the acts Of personal
violence which may be committed by its
hirelings, and whether the state courts are
not virtually without power to identify,
arrest. convict and punish such non-resi-
dent criminals, and also whether the char
ter and operations OF that agency are not a
violation OF the laws of the United States
