MEANING OF THE Late INJUNCTION
A Decision Favorable to the Re-
pubIicans.
WHAT WILL BE DONE NOW.

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb 5.-Senator Saxton,
president pro tenn. of the state senate, said
today that the Injunction ordered by county
Judge Clute restraining the clerk of that
body from calling the roll with the name of
Senator wolfert substituted for Senator Nc
Carthy would be entirely ignored. and the
clerk will be ordered tonight to call the roll
Judge Clute this afternoon made a state
ment which practically solves the problem
as far as the legal proceedings growing out
Of the injunction issued by him are con-
cerned.
He was told Of the statement which Sem
ator Saxton made that the senate would
oroer the clerk to do what the injunction
forbade him doing.
The judge smiled and said: well, they
have perfect right to do it, and no Judi
cial power in this state can prevent such
an action. My position in this affair has
been misunderstood by the newspapers
the state from doing anything at least
know enough law to understand that the
legislative branch Of the state govern
ment convention can make and interpret
Its own rules of procedure and can do any
act consistent with the powers vested in
1t by the constitution and that no judicial
tribunal can interfere with 1t. My injunc-
ton was granted upon application to John
Mccarthy, state senator. not enjoining
the senate from doing anything or ordering,
but restraining John S. Kenyon, the clerk
Of the senate. from disobeying the rules of
the senate"
This practically decides the position
which the majority will take tonight Of
the future In effect Of the Clute injunction.
The senate may order the clerk to call
and the clerk may do SO without disobeying
the Injunction.

An Electric Line to Run From Phfla.
delphia to the Hudson.
NEW YORK, Feb. 5-The Herald this
morning contains the lengthy details Of
the proposed connection Of this city with
Philadelphia by means Of a trolley system,
reports of which have been prevalent for
some time past After declaring that the
great system of through trolley lines be-
tween New York and Philadelphia, which
was once prophesied, is by no means the
chimera 1t was then declared to be- but
substantial fact and reviewing the traffic
situation prevalent in Jersey City, by which
the Pennsylvania railroad had control of
the principal street franchises, and the
efforts of a wealthy Philadelphia syndicate
to gain foothold with the ostensible pur-
pose Of gridironing Jersey City with troll
ley lines. the Herald says that the real
purpose Of this enterprfsing syndicate was
to push its lines clear across the state of
New Jersey, tapping the business of both
the great steam railroads that also cross
the state. and not satisfied with that to
penetrate Pennsylvania and push down
into Philadelphia.
Two very important moves have been
made in the scheme in the last few weeks.
At this end arrangements have been made
to extend the line from Newark to Eliza
beth. and just lately from Elizabeth to
Plainfield. At the other end franchises
have been secured for lines from Philadel-
phia to Trenton.

UncOntrOllable Craving for Liquor
Brought About His Fall.
CHICAGO. Feb. 5.-The Tribune says this
morning:
Robert Ratgerber, formerly Of prominence
in New York. but lately homeless. penni-
less outcast. yesterday morning took poison
and last night died at the county hospital.
1t was learned that Ratgerber's mother
lived on Groveland avenue.
Then the whole story Of the once wealthy
and prosperous mans fall came to light.
His mother, who is a well preserved woman
Of ninety-one years. is known as one of the
wealthiest women on the south side hav-
ing large property said to be valued at near
ly 100000. A brother-in-law, who lives
on Cottage Grove avenue, is rated at nearly
the same sum. The father Of the dead
man, who died only three years ago, was
reputed one Of the richest men in the city,
having made fortune in the real estate
business.
Robert Ratgerber himself was once a mil
honaire, with large business interests in
New York. He had beautiful daughter
and one son. An uncomfortable thirst for
liquor, 1t is said, led him to neglect his
wife and business, until the former, It is
said. secured a divorce, and the latter went
to ruin.
From that time until his death he an
peared to have lived for one thing only
liquor.

when Attorney Thomas Thinks Over
head Wires Are Justihable.
The Recommendation Of Superintendent
Miles Of the District telegraph and tele-
phone service that a line of poles be placed
along 4 IL street for the purpose Of con-
veying the District wires, In lieu Of the
conduits which were out of repair, was
sent to the attorney for report as to
whether this could be done without viola
ton CT law. Today Mr. Thomas rendered
his opinion. In which he says:
THE law In regard to overhead wires
applies to telegraph. telephone and electric
lighting companies and does not. in my
opinion, prevent the District of Columbia
from maintaining overhead wires in cases
where, as In this case. the underground
cables have failed, and the municipality
has no funds at its disposal to repair or re-
new them, but sufficient only to erect new
poles The tendency of the legislation by
Congress In regard to overhead wires Is
against private companies operating them
1t was never intended to prevent the Com
head wires for the use of the District DO
lice and firm alarm telegraph system for
sending messages or signals to guard
against disorder and confiagration
such a use Of the streets Is not like a
private use of them by telegraph, tele-
phone or electric lighting companies, but 1t
h municipal use of the greatest Importance
the protection of life and property For
these reasons am of the opinion the emer-
gency shown In the communication Of Mr.
Miles 1ustihes the erection by the District
OF poles and overhead wires on 1-2 street
and the maintenance of them until Congress
shall provide for an underground cable"
