COURT OF APPEALS YESTERDAY
In. the Court of Appeals yesterday de-
cision was rendered in the case of the
the Circuit Court of Allegheny.
In this cause, Tyler sued and recov-
cred 500 from the company for failure
to deliver ''as promptly as practicable"
message sent from Asbeville, n, c., to
the plaintiff at Clifton Forge. The recov-
cry was made under section l292of the
Code which provides ''for every failure
to deliver or forward dispatch as
promptly as practicable the company
shall forfeit 800 to the person sending
the dispatch, or to the person to whom
it was addressed" 1t was admitted
that the message was not delivered as
promptly rs practicable, but the com
pany denied the plaintiffs right to re-
cover on two grounds: First because
the action ought TO have been in the
name of the Commonwealth, and, sec
ond, because section 1899 of the Code is
repugnant to the interstate commerce
law. Judge Lewis delivered an eX-
haustive opinion in this case, in which
he contended that the section of the
Code in dispute was not in violation OF
that clause in the Constitution which
gives Congress exclusive control over
Interstate commerce, and the judg-
ment of the lower court was affirmed.

Fauntleroy delivering the opinion,
holds that Dudley was the victim of his
own gross neeliger c., and disobedience
of the rules of the company and cannot
recover damages for his own wrong.
Danville and Western Railroad VS..
Brown. From the Circuit Court Of
Henry. Suit for damages in which
plaintiff recovered $500. Judgment
of lower court affirmed, Judge Fauntle
roy dissenting.

Edgewood Female Seminary, Catho-
lie institution conducted by the Domin-
lean Sisters and valued at about $780,

made daring efforts to save their little
charges, but work as they would they
could not save all the children. Sew
eral adjoining buildings were consum-
ed and the seminary is practically de-
StroYed.

Senator Voorhees, on the Tariff.

Senator Voorhees,, who is at home
in Terre Haute, Ind, said this morning
that he expected the House would send
the tariff bill to the Senate before the
holidays. 1t will be referred to the
Committee on Finance, of which he is
chairman. When asked if affected inter
ests would be given hearing by the
committee, Mr.. VOORHEES, said that am
pie opportunity would be afo d I'd 10
all. There would be no effort to rush
the measure recklessly. Undoubtedly
there would be final action on the
measure at this session. The Senator
expressed regret that there should be
frequent legislation on the tariff be-
cause it was hurtful to the industrial
and business interests of the country.
He regards the tariff as taxation and
believes it should be so adjusted as to
least disturb the business interests of
the country.

WILL HAVE A New NosE.-Little 3
year-old Joseph Byrne, of Philadelphia,
lost the tip end of his little nose by a
peculiar accident on Monday night.
The Hahnemann Hospital surgeons,
however. expect to make the injured
member perfectly whole, by skin
grating operation. The little fellow,
while toddling about his home, tripped
and fell, striking his face on an earthen-
ware cuspidor. The sharp edge of the
vessel cut the tip offthe child's nose,
and scooped out portion of the upper
lip. The young sufferer was taken
by his father to Hahnemann Hospital,
where the wound was dressed by DIR.
Waaser. DR.. Carl Y. Fisher will per-
form delicate skin-grafting operation
upon the child in the hope of making
the injured nose as good as ever,
Small bits of cuticule will be taken
from the little ones arms and legs and
grated upon the raw flesh on the end
of the nose.

WHEN a wrong has been done, the
best thing to do is to undo it as soon as
practicable. This is common sense, and
it is as true of nations as of individuals.
The United States, through their min
ister and marines at Honolulu, depos-
ed the legitimate ruler of Hawaii. By
doing so they perpetrated q gross out
rage upon poor, weak and friendly
nation. That they should now restore
the status quo that existed in Hawaii
previous to their gratuitous and afro
cious interference, and, having done
that, TO let the Hawaiians manage their
own affairs in their own way, is plain
to be seen by every right-thinking man.
The form of government in Hawaii, or
the character of its legitimate ruler, has
nothing to do with the case, and all
that the United States has to do there is
to afford protection to their own citi-
zens. Mr.. Cleveland is by no means q
model democratic President, but if his
action in the Hawaiian affair be as re-
ported, he deserves praise rather than
censure; and those who denounce him
f,r it, only do so for lack of better
opportunity. They are prejudiced
against him, and are therefore unjust
critics; indeed they abuse, and do not
criticise him, and would do so even for
less reason that that referred to, if such
a thing were possible.

BROTHERS IN A FATAL Row.

BROTHERS IN A FATAL Row.-A
murderous affray occurred between two
brothers at Drama hamlet, on Deer
creek, W. Va, yesterday, and as a re-
suit both combatants are dying. Brad
and David Amos are farmers on adj
joining tracks of land, but have been on
bad terms for some time past. Yester-
day morning they met and quarreled,
and Brad attacked David with knife,
stabbing him several times. David ran
and was again stabbed in the back.
The wounded man seized a heavy
stone and when about to fall from loss
of blood turned and, with last effort,
threw the missile at Brad, crushing in
his skull. Both men have families.
