MISS AGNES S. LYON WINS.
The Order for a Physical E1-
animation Set Aside To-Day.
Constitutional Point Not Yet Con-
sidered 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 S. Lyon against the Manhattan
Elevated Railroad. The order was to
compel her to submit to an examina-
ton Of her person. pending the trial
OF the suit.
Judge Pryor made the order on Feb.
5, naming the referee and two doctors.
At the time he said that such a law was
an outrage.
One week later he issued an order to
show cause, which acted as a stay Of
the examination pending an appeal to
the General Term.
In appealing to-day Lawyer Smith
said hat the act OF the Legislature
which purports to direct such physical
examinations. is in conflict with the
much as t deprives the p~laintitf of her
liberty and natural rights. and that it
would deprive her OF absolute right to
prosecute the action.
From The nUited States Constitution
he quoted:
No state shall make or enforce any law which
shall abridse the privilege or immunities Of cit.
deprive any person OF life, liberty or property
without due process Of law. nor deny to any
person within its Jurisdiction the equal protection
OF the laws.
From the State Constitution was
quoted:
No member of this State shall be disfranchised
or deprived Of any rights or privileges OF any
citizen thereof unless by the law Of the land OF
tho Judgment Of his peers.
Mr.. smith further held hi this ply
steal examination was simply an Incl.
dent In an oral exs animation. from the
fact that no doctor could decide as to
her condition unless she described and
located her pains and ailments.
The Court declined to consider the ar.
gument on the constitutional point. as II
gotten an order for an oral examination
In connection with the physical one.

THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Republican State convention will
meet at Montpelier on Wednesday next.
Except for the second place on the ticket,
there will be no contests. The nOmi-
NATHAN of Col. L. A. Woodbury. of Bur
lington for governor has been for months
a foregone conclusion. The incumbents
will be renomnated for secretary of
state, treasurer and auditor without
opposition.
The only bone of contention will be
the ant-governorship, and the con-
test tor that place has practically mar
rowed down to battle between the fol-
lowers of Col. Mansur and those who
favor Mr.. Vail. Caledonia county is, as
usual, divided against itself, thus doom
ing its candidates, Messrs. Lincoln and
Bates, to the defeat that is the ordinary
lot of Caledonia county politicians.
AS between Messrs. Vail and Mansur
part of the delegates from Addison
county, or, indeed, from any county eX-
cept perhaps Mr.. Mansur's own. There
! is no sufficient reason for Mr.. Mansur's
nomination, so far as we are aware; at
any rate, none has been given by his
friends. He is a secOnd-rate lawyer and
persistent ollice-seeker; if again graft
fled, he will certainly be up for some-
| thing else. lie represents no particular
. interest except that of the war veterans,
f. who, we are sure, will be abundantly
& satisfied with having one of their number
as governor. Mr.. Vail, on the other
hand, is a bright, vigorous and level
. headed man. lie is a farmer and a sue
cessful one, who has not needed the as
sistance of Office to earn a living. While
not brilliant or a very learned man, he
is clear thinker and a pleasing and
forcible talker, as all who have heard
him speak at meetings of the board of
agriculture will testify. If nominated,
he will fairly and capably stand for the
farming element, who form no small
part of the voting population and are
entitled to representation among the
State officials. The farmer delegates to
the convention should turn out in force
to the convention and express them.
