AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Judge Lippincott IGNORES An Act
of 1893.

p = f.. y .
August Kromeblein was recently committed
to the Penitentiary by the Court of Quarter
sessions for a term of one year. Counsellor
Simpson applied to Judge Lippineott for
a writ of habeas corpus to effect the release
Of the prisoner on the ground that under
the law of 1893sa commitment for term of
more than six months at the Penitentiary
was illegal. This act provides that no
prisoner shall be committed to that institu-
tion for period longer than that.
Today Judge Lippineott rendered his de-
cision in his case and dismissed the writ. He
held that the practice of the Courtof Oyer
and Terminer and Quarter Sessions since the
law of 1871 should have weight, and without
touching upon the force of the act of 1898
the Court refused to discharge the prisoner.
Judge Lippincott in conclusion said that he
would grant writ of certiorari if applied

WASHINGTON, Dec 16, 1893.-Oficials of

relief to ardent supporters of the policy of
restoration. Naval officers who have

9uainted with the spirit of the people
there are not SO sanguine of
continued peace. One of them said this
morning that the intense feeling existing
there among the supporters of the Pro-

firing of a pistol only-would kindle into

1t is idle to deny that a large proper
ton of the people in America, and es-
pecially those who reside along the At
lantic senhoard, are ferful of a cholera
epidemic in this country next summer.
While at this moment there is no rea-

cholera siege such rs ragged in Europe
last year, the more conservative bust
ness people, physicians and thoughtful
men Of New York are apprehensive that
the warm weather will bring the dread
scourge to our shores. If cholera should
be brought from Europe to America
next summer, it is more apt TO gain a
foothold in New York city than amy
other place, for the other scaboard
cities can bc protected much easier than
can New York. Consequently the health
authorities of that port have already
begun active preparations to prevent its
spread in that city, and indeed they are
