Notwithstanding the United States Su-
preme Court continued the term for 1884
and '95 two weeks beyond the average
time, thirtyfour cases which had been SUBJ
mitted We're left undecided when the court
adjourned for the term yesterday. The
most important of these cases were the
following:
The Consolidated Electric Light Company
agt. the McKeesport Electric Light Com
pany, involving the conflict between the
Edison and the Sawyer-Mann patents on
arc lights.
The United States agt. the Union Pacific
Railroad and the Western Union Tele-
graph companies, in which the question at
issue is the right of the railroad company
to dispose of its telegraph franchise.
Governor VIM. H Bishback and others
agt. the Pacific Express Company, con-
corning the company's rights in the state

Several cases involved in the Mckee set
tlement of the Cherokee claims.
Among other cases left on the docket Is
that of John G. Moore .agt. ]. S. Miller,
commissioner of internal revenue, to en-
join Miller from collecting Epe income tax.
While the income tax law ff!as been declar-
ed invalid by the decision in the main cases
this case involved the additional question
as to whether an executive officer can be
enjoined against the enforcement of a law
before a decision declaring it unconstitu-
tional has been rendered, and it remains
to be seen whether the court will pass upon
this point or simply dismiss the case.

PORK WITH TRYCHINAE.
DeDia1 of a Report as to It's Shipment
Free From DiSenSe.

DeD1aI OF Il Report as to Its Shipment
ns Free From Disease.
1t Is said at the Agricultural Department
that there is no truth in the published re-
ports to the effect that pork examined
microscopically for export to Germany and
France and found to contain trichinae is
stamped by the inspectors as free from dis
ease and SO transported and sold in inter-
state commerce trade. Early in February
Secretary Morton ordered all pork examin-
ed microscopically and found to be affected
with trfchinosis tanked, but later it was
decided that the present law did not give
ment of the order was therefore postponed
until July l, when The new law goes into
effect. 1t is doubtful, however, whether
the new law will give him power to cause
the destruction of pork affected with tri-
chinae. 1t only authorizes the Secretary to
make such regulations as he may deem
necessary to prevent the shipment of con-
demned carcasses from one state to an
other, and does not specifically give him
jurisdiction over pork examined for trf
chinae and condemned to prevent its sale
in the local market of the place where it
is examined. The local authorities alone
can affect this uni aSs the Secretary Sc
cures from the shippers of pork to Ger
many and France (he countries requiring
the inspection for trichinae) voluntary
agreements, such as have been made with
shippers of beef, mutton, &C., by which
the latter agree to tank such carcasses as
do not pass the federal inspection. If such
regulation is put IN force, however, 1t is
feared that the pork expectation to Ger
many and France will cease. 'The per-
centage of pork affected with trichinosis
is SO large" said Mr.. Salmon, that if all
the carcasses found to be affected went

CAPT. HOWELL'S PROMOTION.

Capt. ]. A. Howell, commandant of the
Washington navy yard, who is now under
going examination at the Navy Depart
ment for promotion to the grade of COM
modore, has been confronted with some re-
ports adverse to his efficiency made by
Admiral Walker while he was in COM
mand of the squadron of evolution, and
Howell was in command of the Atlanta
one Of the vessels of the fleet. dispute
occurred between the two officers while the
squadron was leaving the harbor Of Tou-
Ion, France. According to the story, the
admiral wanted to make smart showing
with his vessels as he left the French
port. and he gave explicit orders to the
various commanders to get into line as
quickly as possible. The Atlanta, under
Capt. Howell, sustained an accident to her
machinery, and did not respond as prompt
ly as the admiral thought she should have
done. He would not accept Capt Howelps s
explanation and put him under suspension,
whereupon Capt. Howell wrote to the Sec
retary of the Navy asking that the matter
be Investigated by court Of inquiry. The
department did not think the case required
such action and refused the captains re-
quest.
Admiral Walker was examined as a wit
ness In the recent examination proceed
ings. and it is understood that he made
some sharp and unfavorable comments
upon Capt Howell's profes sional qualifica-
tions. Equally strong, if not stronger, evi-
dence was given by several witnesses in
favor of Capt. Howell, and there appears
to be no doubt in the minds of the officers
of the department familiar with the case,
that he will be recommended for promo
ton, Notwithstanding many of his wit

THE MAY RECORD.

Us in the Past Month.
AS interesting is a High School diploma
or marriage certificate, and as well worth
framing is the weather bureaus metero-
logical summary for May. Like every other
section of weather We have had for a year
past, there was never anything like it. The
highest temperature for the month was 90,
which occurred Decoration day. The low
est occurred on the 18th, and the mercury
then went down to 40. 1t was on that day
and the 14th and 18th that frosts occurred
in several south Atlantic states. The mean
temperature for the month was g. This is
one degree below the average for twenty
four years past. The unduIatfon in tenn
perature through the month is interesting,
From 80 on the I'd 1t rose to 6S on the 4th,
remained there three days, and then
mounted to IS on the 10th. Then there was
a gradual descent, until on the 18th it was
at ~. From that date on there was a sort
of a song-and-dance fluctuation until the
18th, when another rise set in, and on the
18th the 73 mark was reached. The next
day 1t was up at 81 and the next at 81,
Thus the month has brought the novel ex-
Ierience of the lowest and the highest
temperatures ever felt here, and this twice
IN succession in the same monoh The
greatest daily range of temperature came
the 18th, when the lowest point touched by
the mercury was 56 and the highest 9O-a
difference of 81 degrees.

SOME PROBABILITIES.
Pennsylvania May be Represented in
MIR. Cievcland's Cabinet.

In case Attorney General Olney is named
to be Secretary of State Pennsylvanians
think that the vacancy in the Department
of Justice may be filed by a man from
their state, and in that event Mr. Wolver-
ton, who was a member of the committee
en- the judiciary of the House of Represen-
tatives in the last Congress, is looked upon
as the most probable successor of Mr.. Oh
ney. Mr. Wolverton prepared some of the
most important reports tkatwere issued by
the committee on the judicsar and he re-
ceived many compliments on the great legal
skill displayed in his work. He is re-
garded as one of the leading lawyers of
Pennsylvania and of the United States,
and it is quite generally believed that Mr..
Cleveland is very friendly to him.
Ex-Solicitor jerks of Pittsburg Is also
locked upon as a probable Attorney Gen.
eral, if MIR. Olney is transferred to the De-
partment of State.
The name of j. W. Doan, prominent
lawyer of Chicago, is also mentioned as a
possible appointment as Secretary of State.

DEATH OF FRED HOWERY.
He Has Many Birmingham Friends Who Mourn
 His Death.

It was with a sense of profound sorrow that Fred w. Howery's friends in this city learned of his recent death in New Orleans. .sas
 He lived a number of years in Bir- mingham and was a. valued employe of the Southern Express company. About two years ago he went to New Orleans, where he accepted responsible position with the Illinois Central railroad which he filed with credit to himself until his death a few days since.
 The Wells-Fargo Express company, ap- preciating his worth, rendered him lu- cEative situation in their Denver office, which in all probability he would have accepted had he lived. He died of con- gestive chill after an illness of ten days The remains were laid to rest in the family burying grounds at Oxford, Miss.
 Fred Howery was one of natures s noblemen." His crowning virtue was an undying fealty to his friends, and in his big, generous heart there was a world of sympathy, trust and fidelity for those whom he loved. He would not utter or brook whisper against a friend. He was true to any and all of these, and in the strictest communion of friendship he could be relied on to his last breath. None but the pigmies of humanity could judge i'll of such a nature, while a host of those who knew him as he was, broad. generous and true, will honor and love his memory to their last moments.
