tied the money one day and drawn it

spiracy. District-Attorney Milchrist.
however, abandoned this project and
secured one Indictment for violating
the plain provisions of the interstate

p2cted to prove Mr.. Fell-s guilt is docu-
mentary. and thus Will be avoided the
danger OF SIlnmOning Witnesses who
will at the last moment refuse 10 tes-
tifv.
There is great rejoicing among freight
agents over the news that Mr.. Fell had
been indicted. Complaint after com
plant has been filed with Interstate

LONDON. May 1.-THE Times made
an application yesterday before judge
in chancery for an adj interim in juno
ton to restrain the st. James Gazette
the tory evening newspaper. from trans,
ferring to its columns articles published
in the Times. The complaint is made
specially on the reduction of contribu.
tons of Eudyard kipling. which the
St. James Gazette had conveyed to its
columns almost bodily. The Times
argued that this appropriation of its
article diminished its circulation. The
st. James Gazette pleaded that custom
justified the course taken.
