The Phonograph Injunction.

In the case of the Columbia monograph
Company against the North American Phono-
graph Company and George E. Tewksbury and
Leonard Garfield Spencer, in which a tenn
porary restraining order prohibiting the de-
PENDANTS from making records of the music OF
the United States Marine Band was granted
March 8, Judge Cox, in chambers, this morn
ing granted an in junction against the de-
PENDANTS prohibiting them from making in the
District of Columbia or the states of Maryland
and Delaware musical photograph records or
other phonograph records, or otherwise, directly
or indirectly. dealing in any machines. instru-
ments, contrivances appliances Of any kind
or description covered by the letters patent to
Thomas A. Edison relating to the photograph.
In the argument o. the case it was contended
that Messrs. Tewksbury and Spencer were not
agents Of the North American Phonograph
Company. but we're acting as individuals. The
court held that the question Of agency was i'm
material, inasmuch as the Columbia Phono-
graph Company held for the territory in ques-
ton exclusive rights in the phonogrsph and
appliances therefor.

The new Court of Appeals of the District,

both buildings are very anxious to have the
commission occupy their buildings, and have
offered not only to move the commission with
out expense to them. but also to wait for the
rental until the LIST of July next, when the ap-
preparation for such purposes will be available.
Under the act establishing the Court Of APP
peals the marshal Of the District is directed to
provide the court with the necessary quarters.
although it is not stated that the court shall be
located in the city hall. But Marshal Ransdell
believes that the most convenient and satisfac-
tory location of the court would be there. and
will at the earliest opportunity make the alter
ations necessary for its accommodation. The
room which he proposes to set apart for the
court is well adapted for such purposes, and
can readily be prepared for it's occupancy by
the time the court will come into existence.

Gently called to a request from the Georgetown
Gas Light Company to lay a 6-inch pipe from
its works ON 29th street south along 29th to the
intersection of X street with Rock creek and
connect it with the sunken pipe Of the WASH
ington Gas Llght Company for the purpose of
obtaining such amount of ges as may be re-
quired for use in Georgetown in excess Of pro-
duction.
Capt. Lusk. in passing upon the papers.
says, as a question Of public policy, he believes
that it would be advantageous to the
District that suitable connection should
exist between the distributing systems
of the two gas lighting companies, in
order that in case Of accident to the works Of
one the other company would be able temper
arily to make up for the deficiency in gas. II
upon examination the bridge is found strong
enough to bear the additional strain permit
will be given and the main laid under the direc-
tion of the surface division.

Did 1t Beat Noah and His Ark?

Mr.. W. C. Dodges very interesting account

forty-three days and 1000 miles Of. sea voyage
to Panama in 1850 without sighting single YES
sci is pretty wide of the mark in the statement
that Noah was ''out only forty days" in his voy-
age on the waters Of the food. rereading Of
the very definite Mosaic account of the time
that Noah and his family were shut up in the
ark will. We think, satisfy Mr.. Dodge that in
stead Of FORTY days it was one year and ten
days. So Noahs voyage in respect to duration

The report Of Health Officer Hammett for
last week will show decrease in the number of
deaths as compared with the previous week.
Mr.. Moore, who has charge of the death statis-
tics, has received reports from other cities for
last month, and they show the prevalence of
the grip in Several cities along the Atlantic
coast. The deaths. however, were few in num-
Der, and Mr.. Moore sees no cause for alarm
from that disease. Last week there were seven
teen deaths in New York which were attributed
to the grip, while in Philadelphia there were two
cases and in this city three cases.
