MARTINS FERRY.

The following resolutions were passed by
the VIM. H. Woodruff Lodge, No. "a, A.
A. of r. and S. W., at their meeting held
Dec. 20, 1892:
WHEREAS, It has pleased the Almighty
God TO remove from our midst w. +. Cuth,
a member of our lodge. Be it
Resolved, That while we bow In contrl-
ton of His divine will we deplore the loss
of one who was always faithful brother,
and an honest worker in the cause OF LABOR.
ResoIued, That our sympathy pe extend
ed 10 the family in their affection.
By order OF COMMITTEE.
The Injunction case of F. r. Sedgewick
and 7. w. Sh,eve vs. the city OF Martins
Ferry, ct al. enjoning the Council of said
city from constructing an electric ngnt
plant, has oeen dismissed by plaintlns az
their costs. Although said cause was
brought up in court several times, and sew,
eral amendments were made to the orlglnal
petition. vet it seemed TO be such bad loo
| from the beginning that it couldn't be
patched so as to sustain On injunction,
their amended petition having been strick-
en- from the files by the court, and the
original Injunction having been condltlon-
ally dissolved for the reason that there
was defect of parties and that the petl-
ton did not state facts sufficient 10 constl-
tute grounds for an injunction, which lett
plaintiffs few hopes OF sustaining their
love of darkness rather than light, Wnich
they sought for reasons best known 10
themselves. But Notwithstanding the IN
popularity of these injunction proceedings,
and the fact that owing TO the darkened
condition of our city, we have been sub
iected to several heavy DAMAGE suits
during its pendancy, and our
city is threatened with others,
Yet we are crediblv informed that sec
ond temporary restraining order has been
obtained for the same cause by the same
plaintiffs, the principal ground for which
it is said, is, that the law under when
Council is proceeding is UNCONSTITUTIONAL
This makes the case all the more strange
when it is remembered that the nrst plain
tiff who brings the action, was the City
Solicitor when the act was passed and pro-
cured its enactment as the legal advisor OF
the City Council.
