wcIch Vow Files n Claim Against
the city.


Michael +. welch. who. several
weeks ago. brought suit against Detec-
tive Joseph Donohue for 100000 for
damages. has to-day filed In the Comp
trollers Office a cain against the city
for 100000 "and upward" for damages.
The ground upon which this claim Is
based is that Welch claims that he was
held up as a suspicious person and
thief on the public thoroughfares" by
person In the employment OF the city.
The claim Is signed: Michael f.
Welch, care OF c. ID, Evans. 80 Nassau
street"
Lawyer c. ID. Evans refused to discuss
the matter beyond saying that he was
not personally responsible for filing the
aim. He admitted. however that the
claim was substantially the same as
that against Detective DoEohue. and
Welch's grievance was that he had Of
ten on the street. with crowds OF peo-
pie standing around. been pointed out
by Donohue as thief to be guarded
against.
THE city" said Mr.. Evans. ''ought
surely to be held liable for such con-
duct on the part OF those whom 1t en-
ploys."

MISS AGNES S. LYON wins.
The Order for a Physical E1-
animation Set Aside To-Day.
constitutional Point Not Yet Con-
sidercd by the General Term.

The General Term Of the Court OF
Common Pleas this morning set aside
the order OF Judge Pryor In the suit of
Agnes $. Lyon against the Manhattan
Elevated Railroad. The order was to
compel her to submit to an examina-
tion OF her person, pending the trial
OF the suit.
Judge Pryor made the order on Feb.
s, naming the referee and two doctors.
At the time he said that such a law was
an outrage.
One week late' he issued an order to
show cause, which acted as stay Of
the examination pending an appeal to
the General Term.
In appealing to-day Lawyer Smith
said that the act OF the Legislature
which purports to direct such physical
examinations IL In conflict with the
Constitution OF the United States. mas
much rs 1t deprves the plaintiff OF her
liberty and natural rights and that 1t
would deprive her of absolute right to
prosecute the action.
From the United States Constitution
he quoted:
No state shall make or enforce any law which
shall ahridge the privilege or immuntleS Of cit
deprive amy person of NE, liberty or property
yithoir due process ot law. nor deny to anv
person within Its Jurisdiction the equal protection
! OF the laws.
From the State Constitution was
quoted:
No member OF this State shall he disfranohised
or deprived OF rights or privileges nf any
citizen thereof unless by the law OF the land or
tho Judgment OF his peers
Mr.. smith further held that this ply
steal examination was simply an Incl
dent in an oral examination, from the
fact that no doctor could decide .as 10
her condition unless she described and
located her pains and ailments.
The Court declined to consider the ar
Eument on the constitutional point. Rs 1t
appeared that the Company had not
gotten an order for an oral eKamina tion
In connection with the physical one.
