Texas State law to be unconstitutional. The
decision was rendered in the case OF the
Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad COM
pany VS.. w. II. Ellis, appealed from the
supreme court of Texas by the railroad
company. The case involved a claim against
the rairaod company in which claim WAS

$4,000 for such fees In cases against rail :.
road companies where the litigation results
against the company. The court held that

teenth amendment in that II deprives the
railroad company Of property without due
process of law and denies to them the same
protection of the law granted to others.
The chief justice and Justices Gray and
White dissented.

HOW WEINAND DIED.
Gag Rammed Down Throat and
Then Garr0ted.
Soldier Murdered I'm n Like Manner
Four Years Ago.

st. Louis Dec. 23.-The post mortem
held on the body of Jacob Weinand, who
was found dead In his kitchen Tuesday
evening. revealed a peculiarly nendish
method used by the murderers to GET rid or
the old man. When found Weinand, be-
sides being gagged and bound, had
towel tightly twisted about mis- neck.
The post mortem showed that far down
in the old mans throat tightly imbedded
at the bronchial tubes, was wnd oil
thick cloth which had been wrapped with
horse hair. Fingers could not have
reached that far, and n stick was probably
used 10 ram the wad down. Then the
old man was garrote0 with towel.
In 1893, a soldier at Jefferson Barracks
who had saved about $1,000, which no car
red in his pocket was found murdered
in his room. He had been bou1d, wad
OF cloth and horsehair had been pushed
down his throat and he was cnoked 30
death with "a twisted towel. The simil-
arity of the n urder of Tuesday evening
with that on The soldier four years ago has
caused excitement in police circles. Every
effort Is being put forth To discover
Neinand's murderers, supposed TO lave
been two, bat the only olew found Is n
button and piece OF cloth torn from the

TRADING STAMPS.
Chief Wade of Bay State Police Issues
Order Against Their Use.

Boston, Dec. 23.-Chief Wade of the
state police has sent out circulars TO store
keepers throughout the state calling their
attention to chapter 277, acts OF 1854.
which IL entitled, "An act 20 prevent the
sale or exchange Of property under in
duoement that gift or prize is to DO
part OF sthe transaction - The penalty
for tho violation of the law Is fine of
not less than SO nor more than $500. The
circular is directed against the trading
stamp system.
Exceptional interest attaches to Chief
Wsde's action, in view OF the fact that
several prosecutions for alleged violation
OF the act in question have been made i'm
the past fortnight One of the companies
interested is Incorporated under the New
Jersey laws and began business three
years ago Mt Jackson, Mich, establishing
branches In 12o or more oi6ies in tine I'm
ion. At this compaDy's office today il
was stated that no fear as to the outcome
of the present prosecution is entertained.
The best of counsel has been retained and
when the proper times arrives, u decisive
fight will be- made. All cases in tho
lower courts will be appealed and On rried
To higher courts. There stand will be
made. The company Is convinced that IL
is acuiuR within its constitutional rights.
and Is willing TO 40 TO any extent to
maintain its position. Ii denies that ii is
in any way conducting business in
which any element of chance is invo lved.
Chief Wade says thai he has noted the
activity OF the municipal police, and has
hesitated about interfering. The chief
ground for his action is compliant IL nl-
legged discrimination against some mer-
chants.
