PATENT DECISION.
Important Ruling i'm Favor of the Ma
tiOnaI Harrow Company.

UTICA. N. Y. jan 29.-Judge A. C..
Coke. United States circuit judge of the
Northern district of New York, has handed
down decision in sharply contested pat
ent suit, which affects a large number Of
manufacturers. dealers and users of wheel
spring tooth harrows. The suit was insti-
tuted by the National Harrow Company, of
Utica, against Westcott & Son, the New
York state agents of Hench & Drumgold,
of York. Pa SUIT was brought upon the
Davis patent, which covers wheel-spring
tooth harrows, employing wheels for sup
porting the frame, where the sections of the
frame are capable of being separated from
each other, and used as a cultivator. The
suit was decided in favor of the National
Harrow Company, enjoining the Hench &
Drumgold wheel harrow, and decreeing that
the defendants should account for the dam
ages and profits. For the past four years a
legal warfare has existed between the par
ties. The Circuit Court in PHILADELPHIA
having held the National Harrow Com
panys licenses invalid, because they were
contrary TO the public interest the harrow
company was led to begin suits on its pat
ents against its previous licenses. 1t is un-
derstood that this decision affects a long
line OF spring-tocth harrows now on the
market.

VICTORIA, B. c., Jan. 29.--The steamer
Danube, which arrived here early this
morning from Alaska, brought news of mis-
haps to three vessels in northern waters.
In addition to the wreck of the steamer CO.
roma, already reported, she brought con-
firmatory news of the report that the
steamer Coquitlan, of Vancouver, had run
on rock south of Fort Wrangle. She re-
mained on the rock about five hours. When
met by the Danube at Fort Wrangle, the
Coquitlan was taking fifteen to twenty
inches of water an hour The pumps were
able to keep the water down, and the cap
tain of the Coquitlan proposed to continue
his trip to the mouth of the Stickeen river.
The third accident consisted in the sink-
ing Of the little ferry boat Alaska, which
runs from Fort Wrangle to the Stickeen
river The Alaska settled down on some
rocks with The falling of the tide and sew
eral large holes were punched in her side.
She was towed off, but sunk in deep water.
No lives were lost.
The captain of the Danube furnished the
following particulars OF the wreck of the
Corona while on her way to Skaguay and
Dyea with 255 passengers Just at day
light on Sunday morning, when entering
the southern end of Malacca pass she
struck on a reef which skirts the shore
of Porhcere island and which makes marin
ers keep well over to Kenney island in
side. The reef is a jagged one and one of
the sharp projecting rocks pierced the
steamers hull The steamer was within a
stones throw of Lewis island and her pas
sengers and crew were saved, some pas
sengers taking their tents with them. With
these and sails from the steamer a city of
canvas was soon built up. When the Dam
ube passed down the Corona's passengers
were comfortably settled, although they
were anxiously awaiting the arrival of the
steamer Alki, which will bring them south
The Corona was two-thirds under water
and part of her upper works We're washed
away when the Danube left. Captain Myers
thought that the storms of heavy seas
would break her up. AT the time of the ae-
cident Captain Pierce was on the bridge of
the Corona. The worst feature of the wreck
of the Corona is the losses sustained by
passengers on their way to Alaska. Some
of them had their all invested in outfits
which We're to take them where they hoped
to make their fortunes" :"
