DECISION In THE
CAPITAL CASE
The Supreme Court Re fuses Application
for an Injunction.
THE LOWER COURT IS AFFIRMED
The Court Decides That There 10
Nothing TO Justify the Granting OF
a Preliminary Injunction--The Ap.
peat is Therefore Dismissed at
Appellants Cost.

Philadelphia, March 14.-The Su-
preme court today refused the appli-
cation of the commonwealth for an in
junction restraining the capitol build
ing commission from proceeding to
award contracts, etc, for the erection
of the state capitol building. The de-
cision was the result Of an appeal from
that of the Dauphin county court in
the case of the commonwealth against
Amos II. Mylin, Benjamin j. Haywood,
Samuel J. M. McCarrell and Henry X.
Boyer. The lower court refused an in
junction and this decision is affirmed.
In disposing of the case the Supreme
court says: I'm Cope and Stewardson
against Hastings ct al. 1873 Pennsyl-
vania, 300, referring to the powers and
duties of the state capitol commission.
it was said that the location upon or
near the site of the old capitol build
ing, the colonial style of architecture,
and the cost, not to exceed $550,000,
were fixed by the act, and were manda-
tory upon the commissioners and every
one dealing with them. So, to lesser
extent, was the fire-proof character of
the building, but everything else was
left to the discretion of the commits
sioners under the general direction that
the building should in their judgment
be adapted to the present and future
use of the general assembly. its Off
GERS, committees and employees. The
extent of the commissioners authority,
the nature of their duty. etc, having
been definitely settled by our brother
Mitchell, who wrote for the court in
those cases, they are no longer open
questions, and until 1t is shown that
the commissioners have exceeded the
authority vested in them by the act of
assembly, as thus constructed by this
court, they should be permitted to pro-
ceed in the proper discharge of their
duties without further delay.
A careful consideration of the record
before us had led us all to the con-
clusion that, in the absence of suffic-
lent proof to overcome the legitimate
effect of the defendants responsive
answers to the material averments Of
fact contained in the BILL as amended,
there is nothing to justify the grant,
ing of a preliminary Injunction. The
controlling questions in the case have
been so satisfactorily disposed of by
the learned president of the common
pleas court that further discussion Of
any of them is unnecessary. On his
opinion, the decree, denying the motion
for a preliminary injunction, is af-
firmed, and the appeal is dismissed at
appellants cost"

AUSTIN DECLARED
THE FIGHT A DRAW


while clinched and the visitors began a
loud cry for foul, but the referee only
cautioned Judge to stop the work.
Eighteenth-Judge ducked a righ swing
and landed light left on Bartley's ribs,
and another left on his mouth. BARLEY
pushed straight right into Judges neck
and blocked Judges rushes and landed
another right on Judges jaw. Another
mtx-up ensued and considerable infighting
followed. Judge landing repeatedly on
Bartley's ribs.
Nineteenth-Bartley landed his right
on Judges jaw and his left on the wind,
In intightng, but both of Judges arms
were free, and Judge retaliated by two
left-hand punches on the face and mouth
and right swing on the jaw.
Twentieth-Both men started in vicious
ly. Judge ducked a fierce right arm swing
and landed on Bartey's stomach, but
missed a long reach for his stomach af-
terwards, and received from BARLEY two
right-hand jabs in the wind. Judge land
ed on Bartey's neck and BARLEY upper
cut him on the jaw. Judge pushed his
right into Bartley's stomach and ribs
and BARLEY again punched him on the
Jaw with his right. This evidently an
gered Judge as he forced BARLEY to his
corner and poked his left elbow into his
mouth, knocking two of his teeth out.
The gong sounded and the house was
in an uproar, and after quiet was re-
stored, Referee Austin announced that
both men were strong, and declared the
fight draw. Both of the men showed
that they had carefully trained for the
fight. They were in fine condition.
Several hundred friends of BARLEY
were present from New York state and
a large delegation were in attendance
from Wilkes Barre, Carbondale and
other towns in this vicinity.

HOT SHOT AT THE THEATRE.
The Newspaper Will Catch II Next
from Pastor Neal.

New Brunswick, N. j., March IA
Rev. George II. Neal pastor of the
Pitman Methodist church, who de-
nounced the dance as being immoral
in a sermon last Sunday, opened his
batteries on the theater last evening.
He said:
Like most evils of our day, the
theater has had a long and dark past.
1t has existed since 600 years before
Christ. The theater is the twin sister
OF the dance. They were both born in
heathenism and rocked in the cradle
of vice"
Then Mr. Neal went on to quote from
men of eminence in the world who
from time to time had inveighed
against the theater. Clement Scott
was quoted in his utterance to the ef-
feet that it was almost impossible for
woman to adopt a dramatic career
and remain pure.
rs the Newspaper a Safe Moral
Guide" will be the subject of Mr.. Meals
sermon next Sunday evening. These
sensational sermons have attracted
greater crowds than the church can
accommodate.

last night of j. H. Friedman and r. H.

The local railroad managers say this
arrest is only the first step of an effort
to stamp out system of ticket forger-
les by which many thousands of dol
lars have been made annuany. 1t is
asserted that the methods include the
extension of expired tickets, raising of
passes, forging stockmen's certificates
and plugging cancelled tickets.
