xUkDdI tKhIO Ih4IhS,
Judge Horsley READERS an Important De
cisIvn Adverse 10 the Railroads.

APPOMA1TOX, VA, Dec. 2.-Special.
Judge HOrsley rendered Il decision AZ
this term of the Circuit Court OF con-
siderable Importance 10 the public and -
the railroads. The Norfolk and western
railroad runs a great many freight trains
on Sunday, in violation Of the state stat
ute, relying for their protection on the
case OF the Norfolk and Western rail
road against the Commonwealth, in
which the Court Of Appeals held that the
statute on this question Was unconsutu-
tional, in that ii interfered with inter
State commerce. There were complaints
I'm AppOmattoX and several indictments
found against the company for running
It's trails On Sunday.
one OF these cases was tried in the
County Court some time ago, and YER
dict was rendered against the defend
ant, and judgment entered for line
OF so. This case did not bring the ques-
ton clearly before the court as TO wheth-
er a statute for the police regulation
passed by State could be- considered In
ContraventiUu of the interstate commerce
clause of the United States Constitution.
The evidence in this particular case Was
that on the Sunday named train OF
empty coal cars passed through the coun-
" OF AppomattoX. having started from
CreWe 10 go to Roanoke at which place
the train was broken up. and subsequently
the cars were sent TO Bluoneld. in West
Virginia, where they were loaded with
ccal. which was old to parties outside OF
Virginia and West Virginia before il left
Bluefeld
FrCm this judgment the railroad COM
pany appealed to the Circuit Court The
company was represented by Judge VII
liam II. Mann. Cf Nottoway, and Mr.
+. $. kirkpatrick. OF Lynchburg. The
Commonwealth was represented By Mr..
II. ID. Flood. attorney for the Common
wealth for AppOmattoX county. The
case was very deliberately argued on both
sides, the company contending that, as
these cars were ultimately going out OF
the State of Virginia fer traffic, that
the State law had no control over them
and IL was protected by the decision
above mentioned.
Mr. Flood contended that th,s transac-
ton should be regarded as consign-
ment of cars made by the railroad COM
pany from itself at Crewe to itself at
Roanoke, in which view II would not he
a transaction OF interstate commerce.
although the railroad company might en-
terrain the design of subsequently for
Warding those cars as occasion might re-
quire. into another State. The judge en-
tirely sustained Mr.. Floods view. and
went farther and intimatcd that II the
Sunday law had been directly before him
he would have held II constitutional, on
the ground that il was a police regula-
ton.
The counsel for the railroad company
eTpealed the case II the Court of Appeals,
and among the first questions brought be
fore the new court Will be- 20 pass upon
this important QUESTION, and should they
concur in the opinion Cf Judge Horslev

baul coal trains on sunday

CANADIAN AMAZEMENr

Canadian papers continue to discuss
the recent election ON the prohibition
question. They express amazement
at the overwhelming verdict Of the
people in favor of absolute prohibition
Ut the liquor traffic. The Toronto
Globe, which opposed the proposition,
says ii the vote taken throughout
Ontario last Monday is an accurate
test of the opinions of the people,
then Canada is strongly IN favor of
adopting the policy of prohibiting the
liquor traffic. The dominion parlia.
ment having failed to pass prohibi-
tory law, although asked to do SO, a
plebiscite was ordered in Ontario,
Manitoba, and Prince Edwards Island,
The return Of the vote in the Pro.
vince of Ontario is peculiarly signifi-
cant. The majority in favor of pro.
hibition will probably reach 100, 200,
such large cities as Hamilton, Toron-
to, Kingston and Ottawa giving de-
cisive votes for prohibition. II the
vote is needed the dominion parlia.
ment will pass prohibition law. The
women were entitled to vote on the
question but they disappointed many
by casting only one-sixth of their vote
and one-third Of this was in favor OF
continuing the liquor traffic. The
general result. however, is cncourag
ing to prohibitionists, but the advo

gress now has q committee at work

partfzan shape, the democrats gener-
lilly supporting Cleveland's policy, md
