COURT RECORD.
United states court-Judee Townse

United States Court-Judge Townsend. Three important decisions were hand
 ed down In the United States district
 court Saturday afternoon by Judge w.,
 K. Townsend. The most important of
 the trio Is that in the case of Murphy
 & Co. against the United States, which
 is an appeal from the decision of the board of general appraisers regarding
 the tariff law as applied to the import
 ation of worsted dress goods. The dis tinction between the manufacture of
 wool under the Wilson bill and of wor- sted under the Mckinley bill is the ques- ton involved.
 In his decision Judge Townsend holds
 that the term wool does not include
 worsted, in view of the commercial distinction adopted by congress and the courts. And that the clause in the VII son law exempting manufacturers of wool from the operation of said law un- til January 1, 1895, does not apply to manufacturers of worsted. In con cluding his opinion Judge Townsend says: "Ini view of the failure of con- gress to make any distinction between various classes of articles in said sched- ule other than by use of a word in the title which by the settled definition of court and legislature excluded the arti- cles in question, and in absence of any positive evidence of interest to include said article within said paragraph, think 1t would be a violation of the set tIad rripnty,1a oP coo sfrtictioD and futa ar- pretation to extend the language of said paragraph as to include worsted dress goods. The decision of the board of general appraisers is reversed"
 The decision of the jury in the case of the Consolidated Store Service com pany of Boston against William ]. Wright of Hartford is also reversed by decision handed down by Judge Town send, The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. Attorney H. G. Newton coun- sel for the defendant, filed motion for new trial on the ground that the yer dict was not in accordance with the evi- dence, and the motion has been grant ed
 Tn the case of Stuart against Smith Judge Townsend ordered that com plainant's bill be dismissed without cost The decisioni is on the plaintiffs | motion that the American Press asso- citation be made a party to the defense. The case is the suit of Ruth McEnery | Stuart, the we'll known author, against | Orlando J. Smith, who Is the publisher | of Lippineott's Magazine and presi- dent of the American Press associa- | tion.

A WEEK OF ACTION
Is Really Proposed by the Members
Of the National House.
Nothing to Be Allowed 10 Stand in Way Of
Appropriation Bills.

Washington, Feb. 1o.-A strictly bust
ness air will characterize the actions of
the managers of the House from this time
to the end of the session. Immense press
ure is being brought to bear upon the
committee on rules for orders for the con
sideration of this or that measure, but
the members of the committee say that
until the appropriation bills are all out
of the way, no arrangements will be
made for the consideration of special bills.
Should the committee on ways and
means however, come to the improbable
conclusion to recommend the passage of
a bill giving the secretary of the treasury
authority to issue 8 per cent. gold bonds
doubtless day would be granted for its
discussion.
The programme for this week contem-
plates the passage of the Legislative, exc
cutivc and judicial appropriation bill ON
Monday. Tuesday is set apart, for the
consideration of measures affecting the
District of Columaia. The naval appro-
priation bill will be called up on Wednes-
day and debate on some of its provisions
will probably exhaust 1.-THE remainder of
the week.

clothing, valued at SIG, 900, was about all
damaged by water and smoke.
The fire WAS confined to the lower
floor. 1t is not exactly known how it
caught, but it is supposed from the chin
ney, as there was where the flames seemed
TO do the most damage.
Friend & Co. had an insurance of :l2,
600 on their stock.
The upper story of the building was
occupied by Mrs. Mary Jacobs as a lodg-
ing house. No damage was done there
except the perfume of smoke, which will
make it disagrecablc for a few days.
r. NJ. Baker. who had rented rooms in
the building, moved his household goods
out, Saturday.
DR.. e. e. Friend has Office rooms on
the first floor No damage was done there
except by smoke.

condition of the buildings in that loca-
ton, and the intensely cold weather in
which they were obliged to work.
Later reports say that the loss will be
about sig, 900 on the stock and $500 on
the building. Both losses covered by

WALKERS FINANCIAL MEAsuSE.
The Massachusetts Representative Has Plan
to Help Our Finances.

Washington, Feb. 10--Another finan-
cial measure has been introduced in the
House by Mr.. Walker of Massachusetts.
The measure enlarges the power con-
fcrred upon the secretary of the treasury
by the act for the resumption OF specie
payments and the act of 1870 (for the re-
funding of the national debit so as to au
thorize him to issue, from time TO
time, for a period of four years,
bonds as described in those acts, in de-
nominations Of SEQ and $50 and multiples
thereof, payable at the pleasure of the
government, one year from their ISSUE
and upon the expiration of three years.
or bonds payable after three years and
upon the expiration of seven years, or
bonds payable after five years and upon
the expiration Of 90 years, or bonds due
upon certain day named within three
years from their issue. The bonds are to
bear such rate of interest as the secretary
may decide.
The secretary is authorized to offer for
sale and to sell such bonds in London,
Paris or Berlin, for the period OF five years,
at not less than par, bearing interest at a
rate not exceeding per cent, and such
bonds sold or offered for sale in Europe
may, at the discretion of the secretary of
the treasury, state in their text that they
are payable, principal and interest, in
gold.
Speaking of his bill, Mr. Walker said
it was proposed to issue the bonds under
the present law, SO as not to change the
custom or decisions regarding the pres
ent bonds. IL sold at home, the bonds
are to bear interest fixed by the secretary;
but if sold abroad the rate of interest is
fixed at per cent. If the bonds are to
bear greater interest than per cent,
he thinks our people should have the
benefit He does not make the home bond
gold bond, as it might call in question
whether the present bond issues We're
payable in gold or not; but he makes the
bonds sold abroad payable in gold, to con
form to the customs OF the countries
named. Under this provision the payment
of the outstanding bonds will not be-
questioned.
The matter was referred to the ways
and means committee.
