Judge waies's Decision ON the Loves
Fish Factory Case-A Loss Would BE
Entailed to the Owners.
In the United States Circuit Court,
yesterday, Judge Wales refused to grant
the motion Of District Attorney vanje-
grift for an injunction ageinst the man
ufacture Of fish oil at Lewes, by Luce
Brothers and S. S Brown g. Co. viii
liam Flndlay Brown, of Philadelphia.
was present when the decision was made
in the interest of the defendants
The court, in delivering the decision,
called attention TO the fact that the fish
factories had been established ten years
ago, long before the quarantine station
was located at the breakwater. The
majority OF the witnesses Of the prose
cution belonged at this station Their
testimony and that of physician was
that the odors escaping from these fac
tories were offensive and were likely TO
cause sickness, although there was no
testimony by the employees Of the fac
tories that they had been sick
On the other hand, witnesses for the
defense, a physician, members Of the
Board OF Health and the president Of the
City Conncil had deposed that while
odors did come from these factories, they
were of short duration and were not dan
gerous The manufacturers would also
be put TO great loss, which they could
not recover from the government, II an
Injunction was granted and not sus
tanned at the final hearing.
IL is likely that the owners will erect
stacks about tine factories in order &,
prevent the odors from further annoying
the citizens of Lewes
A final hearing will probably be hs,
later in the summer, previous to which
commissioner of the court will taxi
testimony.

a manner that reflects great credit upon
their principal, Joseph b. Handy.
The speaker Of the evening was Hon.
Lewis G. Vandegrift, Of Whining
ton, who delighted the audience with an
instructive ard interesting address.
Mr. Vandegrift was introduced by the
president of the Board OF Education, c. c.
King. The speaker complimented the
people of Newark on their academic
town, aud on the many educational ad-
vantages which they possessed, Of
which they should feel justly proud.
He said that If there was one
class of people in the world who com
pared favOrably with ministers OF the
gospel it was the school teachers Of this
country, devoting their time and abilities
to this work. passing by the many
glilteriug prizes which might be held
out TO them by other places IN the world
This emphasized more than any other
example the doing Of good to others.
The business world of to day is meas
ured by the yard stick OF competition
which is accepted as meaning TO crowd
everyone else 90 the wall, but yourself
to be successful.
Copy no ooe. but follow the dictates Of
your own heart and conscience daring
always TO maintain that which you bs-
lieve TO be right Let these'young people
60 forth with this thought aud their
characters are safe. they will ornament
whatever circle of society in which they
may move, and they will be admired and
respected above their fellows.
One OF the most interesting persons
whom he had ever known was q woman.
born of parents who realized that their
union was mistake, and whose child
was placed under a guardian in this
state. The child grew 10 womsnhood,
thinking that this guardian was her
parent. A suitor came, and his wooing
was successful, but the guardian re-
/ fused to allow her TO marry the mau of
her choice, and in his anger he let 10
slip that she was not his child
The young woman married and started
a search for her parents. She discovered
them dead An executor had destroyed
the will and had appropriated tn,
property. She started a suit for recover
ing her rights, which embraced almos
an entire city. For forty years she al
ternated from court to court, at times
penniless, again hopeless.
But she had the courage of her convic
tions and knew that she was right, anC
