Galveston News rounds up the
returns of the several conventions
in which Governor Culberson has
figured and in which he has put
himself on record on the silver
question. The News puts the vote
for governor in the late Democratic
state convention side by side with
the vote for sound money and fig
,ures out that the sound money
men gave to Culberson $50 votes
out of the total of 57S by which he
was nominated. The News thinks
that the Governor is little off in
repudiating the sound money votes
of the party when three fifths Of
his support was from that wing OF
the party. His speech at the Fort
Worth convention on silver CRATES
upon the ears of those who remem.
Der how he was indebted to the
votes of sound money men for his
nomination. Such Is Democratic
consistency and gratitude, aud the
News ought to know better than
to trust either.

Panama canal work is resumed.
This Is well, but 1t will be better
when work on Nicaragua canal is
commenced under the guarantees

been badly managed and it will be
wisdom for the promoters Of the
Nicaragua scheme to take a lesson
from that stupendous fraud and
avoid the rocks on which 1t split.

BOSTON, May rs, 1S95.-William Griffin,
q well known professional jockey, who has
ridden at the Country Club for several

scene but Griffin was beyond medical aid

STRIKERS RIGHTS.
They May Combine and Patrol But
Must Not O~bstruct.

4 "
BOSTON, May %, 1895.-An important
decision defining strikers rights was
rendered today by Judge Holmes in
the Supreme Court in the case of F. Q.
Vegelahn VS.. George M. Guntner and
Upholsterers Union No. 81.
BY it the strikers nave the right to pa
troll in front of their former employers
premises, provided they commit no I'M
lawful acts. They are also held to have
the right of free competition which car
ries with it free combination in a free
commercial contest. subject to the rules
of fair play. The Court remarks that 1t
is true that this particular kind OF COM
bination has shown itself very likely to
lead to violence, but it does not think
violence so inseparably connected with
strikes as to warrant declaring a combin-
alton for a lawful purpose illegal simply
on that ground.
The case was heard last week, Messrs.
7. H. Russell and Arthur H. Russell ap-
pearing for the strikers and Messrs. Hale
and Dickerman for the plaintiff.
The decision treats of the legal phi
losophy of the subject and grants an
injunction, limited, to enjoining the de-
fendant from interfering with the plain,
tiff's business by obstruction or. physical
interference with any person IN enter
or by i~ntimidating by threats expressed
or implied of violence or physical harm
to body or property, any person or per-
sons who now are. or hereafter may
be, in the employ of the plaintiff or de-
from continuing in 1t, or in any way
hindering or interfering or preventing
the employment of the plaintiff from
continuing therein so long as they may
be bound so to do by lawful, contract.
The case was heard by Judge Holmes
alone. and he modifes a temporary in
junction granted last November by Judge
Morton. The modification is decidedly
in favor of the strikers.
The case is a test one and will be taken
to the full bench of the Supreme Court
for final decision.

NEVER GOT THE HOUSE AND LOT
Wallace BartIey's Trial for Selling
Anofhar NIanss PrOnarfY.

II the Court of General Sessions yes
terday afternoon Wallace BARLEY, an al
legged real estate agent, was placed on
trial ON a charge of grand larceny. The
complainant was Charles w. Parkins of
No. 1924 Bergen venue.
Last February BARLEY opened a real
estate office on lower Montgomery street.
1t was supposed to be a branch of Fred
erick Buckeyes real estate office, at
No. 30 East Forty-second street, New
York. BARLEY issued circulars making
flattering offers to anyone DESTROYS of
purchasing a home. One of those who
responded was Parkfns.
In response to Parkins' inquiries Bart
ley offered to sell him a lot on Glen
wood avenue and build a house for him.
In consideration of this Parkins was to
pay $500 down and 50 a week for one
thousand weeks, at the end of which time
he would become owner of the house and
lot. To this scheme Parkins agreed
and paid over the $500. He also pal !
the 50 for a number of weeks. After
wards he discovered that the property
he had bought was owned by ex-Mayor
CHARLES Soldier.
Bartley's defence was that he was
merely acting as agent for Buckley,
and knew nothing about the ownership
of the property. After considering the
evidence for several hours they were IN
able to agree on a verdict and were
discharged.

INTEMANN'S NOVEL DEFENCE
First Saloon Keeper Tried for Selling
on ndax-Io Smithss ElOUuence.

Tn the Court of General Sessions this
morning the first trial of the saloon
keepers arrested recently in this city
for selling liquor on Sunday was begun.
The saloon-keeper put on trial was
Chris. Intemann, who is the proprietor
of a saloon at Greene and Sussex streets.
Intemann was surrounded by an i'm
posing array of lawyers who had been
engaged to defend him. They included
| John 1. Weller, of Hoboken; Joseph
Smith and F. Matthews. Assistant
Prosecutor Noonan appeared for the
State.
Before the jury was called Lawyer
Weller asked that the indictment be
dismissed on the ground hat it was de-
fective. The motion was denied by
Judge Hudspeth, and an exception al
lowed.
The first witness called by the State
was Policeman Charles Meade. He tes-
tilted that on March II est. Patrick's
Day., he was detailed to look out for
saloons. He found the front door of In
tenants place locked, but had no diff
Guilty in getting admission to the saloon
through the side door. Advancing to the
bar he called for a glass of beer, drank it
and paid five cents for the anne, after
which he placed Intemann under arrest.
In response to Lawyer Weller's. Dues
tons. Meade was positive that the fluid
he drank was beer. 1t was not Buck"
but just plain, ordinary beer. He did not
know whether it would set him drunk,
because he had never been drunk in his
life.
Mr.. Noonan then called Detective Nc
Ginness as an expert witness, and endea-
vored to show by him that 1ntemann
had sold beer. but his testimony vas
ruled cut.
that his saloon was not open. Just be-
fore the officer got there his Qnte-
mann's) brother had anne over from
New York to call on him. He came. in
the side coor. which admitted to the lily
brother and friends, he invited them into
the saloon to have a quiet drink There
was no one else in the saloon. The off,
Ger came in and he thought that he was
a friend of his brothers, and placed a
glass of beer before him. Intemann de-
MED point blank tina. the officer paid for
the beer.
testified tina the place was not open,
and that Intemann had told him not to
come to work on Sunday as ne was not
going to open.
Counsellor Smith, in summing up FOR
that would have done justice to Cal
houn, Webster or Clay. ITe attacked
the authorities for sending out emissar-
les to spy on innocent sa~loon-keepers

running through the streets with his
watch in his hand, begging some one to
rested. Prosecutor Noona1 made a sa-
tirfcal speech in summing up, and scored
Intemann and his lawyers numerically,
after which the case was given to the
