THE STATES CREATURES
ENTIRELY SUBJECT
TO THE LEGISLATIVE POWER.
Principles laid Down i'm an Opinion
by Judge Baker-CIause of the In
diana Railroad Law.

Judge Baker yesterday rendered an
opinion sustaining that section of the gem
eral law CT 1853 for the incorporation of
railroad companies, giving a priority of
liens to debts up TO 800 originally con-
tracted in this State. or rather he declined
to declare it unconstitutional. II. ~ Madi-
son, +. b. Posey and a. j. Clark, all of
Evansville, had filed suit against John Nc
Leod, receiver of the Ohio Valley Railroad
for 800 for legal services contracted before
the road went into the hands of the re-
ceiver, claiming that it was preferred
claim under the clause mentioned, which
reads as follows:
And the citizens of this State shall have
lien upon all the personal property of said
corporations. TO the amount of 500. for all
debts originally contracted within this
state; which. after said lien of the State
shall take precedence of all other debts
demands. judgments or DEGREES. liens or
mortgages against such corporations
The receiver admitted that the claim was
just, but resisted payment on the ground
that this statute was repugnant to the
clause of the Constitution of the United
States declaring that 1.-The citizens of each
State shall be entitled to all the privileges
and immunities of Citizens of the several
States" No argument was made upon the
subject, the receivers attorneys declaring
that they could find no authorities on the
subject and had nothing TO present that
would assist the court in making decision
The court declined 10 enter into the con-
sututionai question upon the ground that
the receiver. not being aggrieved or dis
eliminated against by this statute, could
not attack 1t, intimating that If ii were at
tackled 1t must be by some resident of an
other State aggrieved by it.
In the course of his opinion Judge Baker
said: THE power to create corporations
resides exclusively in the legislative de-
partment of the State. With the exercise
of this power within constitutional limits
the courts have no concern. The Legislature
is possessed of the unquestionable power to
provide that the debts of such corporations
to limited amount, shall take priority over
liens or mortgages. The corporation hav-
ing been granted corporate existence on
that express condition 1t cannot repudiate
the provision in question. 1t has taken the
benefit OF the statutes and must bear the
burden which has been made an essential
condition of its right 10 become a railway
corporation. nor lienor or mortgage
complain. because their rights have been ac-
quired since the statute has been enacted

ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES
of the Pyramid Pile Cure

Is the fact that it cures every form of
piles without one particle of pain. This
desirable point is not obtained by the use
of injurious opiates which simply deaden
and paralyze the nerves of the parts and
make matters worse in the long run. But
il is done solely by it's remarkable healing
and soothing effects.
And while it thus gives immediate re-
lief. at the same time the disease is not
merely checked, but a radical cure is rap
idly accomplished.
And the point we want to make clear is
that all this is done without particle of
pain.
This fact is one reason for the great pop
ularity OF the Pyramid Pile Cure and con-
stitutes one very great difference between
ii and almost any other kind of treatment
for piles
Every kind of surgical operation for piles
Is excruciatngly painful besides endanger-
ing the life Of the patient and in most cases
is not 10 be compared with the Pyramid
cure, neither in making successful cures
without pain nor in cheapnesS and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been before
the public too long and its merits recog-
nlZed by TOO many people TO allow ii to be
cldSSed with the many SaiVeS, SuppOSitO-
rleS. pills, ETC., and you run no risk in try
ing H. as Is often the case with new and
untried preparations

of piles or rectal disease. do not forget the

mia Drug Company, of Albion, Mich. and

THE NEW CASCADES.
Work on the Changes to the Soldiers
Monument Begins.

Work was begun yesterday morning, un-
der the direction of the monument commits
sioners, on the destruction of the terra Gotta
fountains at the soldiers monument These
are TO give way TO the larger and more
elaborate fountains. as described in the
Journal last autumn, when the contract
was let. AS stated then. the work involves
an entire new scheme of beautifying the
base of the monument. The circle is TO be
regarded, so that instead of soping down
to the street the ground will be level and
will be held by a retaining wall curved in
the shape of a seat. with much wider
walk around the outer edge. The foun-
tains will come to the outer walk. and
are to be embellished by groups
of statuary. one just above the
center of each fountain and one upon each
side of each fountain half way between the
street and the base of the monument
The commission is not provided with
money for this statuary, and an effort will
be made to raise il after the fountains are
constructed. The grass plots will be great
ly reduced in size, and workmen were en-
gagged yesterday in taking up the sod.
The four subsidiary monuments of Nor
ton, Clarke, Harrison and Whitcomb will
be shifted from their present positions so
as to face northeast, southeast, etc. The
family of Ex-Governor Morton have en-
tered objections to the shifting of his stat
ne. but the commissioners believe that the
family will withdraw these rather than

is being done by r. Nj. Snyder & Co, who

WEDDING INSTEAD OF TRAGEDY
Miss Jennie Doty and Oliver Cousins
Are Married.

Oliver Cousins and Miss Jennie Doty. of
Middletown, o., were married yesterday
afternoon at Room &c. Grand Hotel Thus
ends happily the episode that began with
the attempted suicide at that hotel last
Thursday noon. when the bride of yester-
day was. found bleeding and almost dying
from sclf-infiicted pistol wound. She had

oils and has been most assiduous i'm the
task Of nursing his bride back TO life No
explanation OF the motives of the deed has
ever been vouscnafcd by either OF them Dut
the natural sUpposition is that the effort
at suicide was the result of a lovers quar-
Tel.
Mayor Taggart had interested himself in
the case and he pleased yesterday
morning to receive call from. Cousins

sufficiently from her wound TO undergo the
marriage ceremony Tie mayors clerk was
dispatched for a minister and secured the
services of Rev. @. A. Christensen of St

cured. I'm the afternoon Miss Doty was
brought from he hospitals i'm n carriage
and the small party repaired TO Room 80

was still III and weak and tainted away

making the hurried arrangements. the
groom had neglected 10 provide a wedding

Sight and Color Tests.

Train men have come to dread the peri
odical tests of correct vision and of color
blindness, as with each test men are
dropped who had no thought of having
defective eye a defective ear. Hearing
is tested ar well as sight. and ii sometimes
happens that employees feel that they do
not receive just consideration. Last week
DIR. G.. III. Williams, an expert i'm such tests
delivered interesting address before a
large body of railway superintendents.
Among other things. he said that the ques-
ton of visual defect was one I'm which all
railway managers were interested. and one
to which a great deal of time and study
was given. State laws relating TO this mat
ter Werc of practical value and what
ever was done in determining the sight or
enginemen and train hands must come
through the efforts of the railways Them
selves. He showed the necessity of uniform
tests. and said it was of more Importance
to test the vision than the color sense OF
employees. Only about 6 per cent. of those
applying for positions on the Burlington
came up to the physical standard required
and the same proportion would hold on
other railway lines. He maintained that
there should be two standards, the higher
for enginee.s, draw tenders and the inter-
locking switchman. All these should be
of normal vision. However, after a man
had been in the service for any length or
time the standard could with safety be
lowered. He made the somewhat imp6r-
tant claim that an engineman, after max
ing a long run, was found to have lost n
good part of his visual acuteness. and he
therefore, recommended as short runs as
possible. He also maintained that the use
or tobacco had q serious effect upon the
sharpness of vision. He then showed the i'm
portance of having the lenses of lanterns
of a uniform color as otherwise an injustio @
might be done perfectly competent em-
plOye.
