York company be permitted to market these {, 1000 brakes. 1t could realize there from about SEQ, 900; if, however. such ~osb s.5 s the ss other words. about its scrap value.
 On the other hand 1t was alleged, and 1t was not disputed, that the New York Air Brake company is an irresponsible organi- zstion, possessing no property other than its patents and such unsold apparatus as 1t now has on hand, and 1t further does not appear that the company is under contract to supply air brakes to any one.
 In disposing of the motions the judge decides that to permit the eale of the in . fripgtng air brakes at fixed rate per get court from an injunction into license and would establish sn infringing rival into . competing business,' and he em- phatically denies the motions. The judge divests this decision of hsrshness by re- ferring to circular letter issued by the New York company which seems to have been ipjudiciously sent out before these motions came to @ hearing. He quotes from the circular letter as follows: So far as the freight triple valve is concerned, the decision is unimportant, for no principle Is involved and only triaing and untmpor- tant changes are necessary to make our triple valve free, in view of the very mar. row construction given to the Nesting, house patents by the court The judge naturally concludes that if 1t ia such . simple matter to continue business and | escape infringement, it will not be seri ous hardship for the Now York company to store the Infringing air brakes which il has on hand until @ final decision ii reached in the United States court of ap peals.
 In the suit which was based upon tht Westinghouse divisional patent, No. AS, | S27, 1t will be remembered that the New York company admitted the infringement but denied the validity of the claims 1T l that patent, setting forth that the claim | were designedly made too broad, ant | through their counsel, arguing at lengtl that such claims 'must be construed t. | cover all quick action triple valves, whsthe l known or unknown at the date of tn patent, except only those already covered by No. 3e0, ,070 and No. 338. .637,' and tha
 consequently, If these claims were sus
 tained by the coart, 1t would be impossibl
 to construct . quick action triple valve
 which would not infringe the Nesting
 house patent. The court has now estah
 lished the validity of the broad claims an'
 from the NewYork company's own showin
 it is little difficult to understand how th
 'trifling and unimportant changes referre
 to in their circular are going to permi
 them to continue in the quick action aiI l brake business."
 It has not been learned whether the Ne'
 York company still intends to appeal il
 case, since its proposition to do 60 ha
 failed to obtain permission to sell the sil
 brakes on hand, but we have no doubt | will do so,"

 Ing and Had to Skip.
 NORTH HAVEN, Feb. 6.-Burglars broke into the postofice here this morning and just as the mail train was passing at 1:10 blew open the safe. The force of the ex- plosion broke all the windows in the building and knocked the door from the hinges.
 The postofice is in the grocery store of E. l. Goodyear, who is also postmaster, and the force of the explosion awakened all the aleeping inmates. The rooms above the store are occupied by A. B. Clinton, a music dealer, doing business at IT Center street, New Haven. The postmaster ran down stairs, revolver in hand, but the burglars, evidently frightened at the noise caused by the explosion, made good their escape. The authorities here have not got any trace of the burglars. This afternoon a small bag containing dynamite was found in the stors near tho safe.
