HIGH COURT DECISIONS.
RemOnstrance Signed by an Attorney
LegaI-The other Cases.

LeSdI-Ine CaSeSs
The appeal of Charles Cochell against
Louis c. Reybols was filed yesterday in
the Supreme Court. The appeal is TO the
effect that remonstrance signed by an at
torney is just the same as if 1t had been
signed by the remonstrator himself Cochell
applied TO the commissioners of White coun-
ty for license to sell liquor and was re-
fused because q majority of the legal voters
of his township had executed a power Of
attorney to two lawyers which authorized
them TO sign a written remonstrance to the
sale of liquor in the township. which was
afterwards filed with the commissioners.
He appealed TO the Circuit Court and after
wards to the Supreme Court.
The Appellate Court reversed the judg-
ment for ss51 recovered by James Sweetzer
against Sterling r. Holt. Holt claimed he
had signed a note as the president of the
Brazil Ice and Cold Storage Company. The
court held that there was Sucn ambiguity
in the note that Holt should be allowed
to show that he signed the note as the pres
ident of the Brazil Ice and Cold Storage
Company only, and reversed the opinion OF
the lower court.

The Vandnifa Receiver.hip.

Monday ended the third year of the re-
ceivership of the Vandalia lines. ard in
commenting on this fact the Terre Haute
Express says: "Mr Malott has made a
splendid record since he has had control of
the company's affairs. The earnings of the
road for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1898,
according to the report of the Interstate
commerce Commission, was s4,l59,265, and
during the succeeding months the earnings
of the road under his management have ex-
ceeded this amount. The operating off,
cials associated with Mr.. Malott are all
men at the head of their profession, and
the excellent earnings made by the road
are In large measure due TO their able
assistance. The financial and operating
departments work in the greatest har-
mony and TO the greatest good. That there
is absolutely no friction between the two
important divisions of management is at
tested by the annual reports.
Railroad men dislike TO prophesy just
when the receivership will be terminated.
The Pennsylvania officials are said to be
highly pleased with Mr.. Malotts man.
agement of affairs and to have advanced
the statement that he would be retained
for some time to come"

Judge Allen Grants a Divorce Il
Young ZOra Bell PerigO.

Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court. yester-
day granted divorce TO Fora Bell Perigo
and restored her maiden name. Fora Bell
Padgett The plaintiff is a young woman
of pleasing appearance and looked to be
about eighteen. The evidence showed that
she was married TO Oscar T. Perigo when
she was fourteen years old. and that he
abused her and failed to support her. Her
mother told the court that she entered a
strong objection TO the marriage of her
daughter on account of her youth. but
Perigo. being a violent lover, declared that
II he was not permitted 10 marry Miss
Padgett at home. he would run off with
her. Mrs. Padgett said sne counseed with
her father, who advised that she allow the
marriage 10 proceed without interference.
Perigo and his young wife had their final
trouble over a trivial incident. One evening
Mrs. Perigo announced her intention of go-
ing out for a short time and her husband
declared that she should not go. The evil
dence showed that he became so angry
that he threatened to shoot his wife and
went so far as to pick up a weapon. He laid
1t down, however, and struck at her. The
next morning he left her. Perigo was not In
court when the divorce was granted.

THE UNION LABEL LAW
Is Held to BE Constitutional by Judge
Afford.

In decision given by Judge Afford, Of
the Criminal Court, yesterday, he held
the union label law constitutional The
question was raised in the case against AL
fred F. Dold, who was charged with violat-
ing the union label law. Dold's attorney
sought TO have the indictment quashed on
the ground that the legislative act govern
ing the use of the union label was invalid.
this contention was that the punishment for
violation of the law is excessive. Judge AL
ford admits that the punishment is severe.
but he holds that 1t is within the law.
Dold's attorney also contended that the law
was invalid because it only benefited GER
tain classes and might be termed class
legislation" On this point Judge Afford
said that no one class has an advantage
over another under this law. 1t gives any
one the right to adopt label TO distin-
guiSh his goods from others.

Commerce Commission Rulings.

Tho Interstate-commerce Commission yes
terday announced its decision in the case Of
the board Of railroad commissioners of the
State Of Kansas against the Atchison. To-
peka & Santa Fe Railway Company and
other carriers. The main points decided
by the commission are as follows: The
changes which have taken place in con-
citions governing the transportation of
wheat and flour from Kansas points to
destinations in Texas are not sufficient to
warrant interference in this case with the
dinerential making the rate cents higher
on Hour than on wheat, which was approved
Dy the commission in Kaufman Milling
Company against Missouri Pacific Railway
Company. Carriers of corn and corn meal
from kansas points to destinations in Tex
as enforce difterential Of cents per 100
pounds more on corn meal than on corn,
and such difference prohibits the shipments
or corn meal ground at Kansas points into
Texas territory. Ii Is held that the differ
ence in rate of cents against corn meal
against Kansas millers. and that the differ
entail should not exceed cents per 100
pounds.
Several defendant carriers engaged in
transporting wheat and corn from points
in Kansas and Missouri and intermediate
points to Galveston and New Orleans make
lower export rates on those commodities
from Kansas City. Mo-. points in that
vicinity than from some of the intermediate
stations on their respective lines. 1t is
held that the higher rates from such in
termediate points subject those localities
TO undue prejudice and that II the car
rferS are allowed to make these low eX-
port rates they should in making them,
treat all intermediate territory alike and
desst henceforth from charging higher
rates from the nearer stations than those
in effect from the more distant points.

General and Personal Notes.

Much is heard about the car famine and
the labor famine confined TO the effect on
Improvement work on railroads. but nothing
is said about the equally important effect
OF the labor famine on traffic. Railway
managers. in commenting the car short
age, are neglecting TO observe that more
equipment would be valueless without more
men TO handle il. Almost any kind of labor
or men of any nationality will do almost
any kind OF rough work like that Of sec
tion men or manning construction trains.
but skilled men are needed TO run the trains
and move business without accident when
roads are filled with traffic. The activity
in business has created a new demand for
train hands and other trained employees, and
these cannot be obtained on the street, nor
can they be imported. At present the op-
Grating and traffic forces of the country are,
almost TO a man, employed. and a large per
cent. of the traffic men working over
time. Inquiry would show that they are
about as well distributed over the country
as they well could be, and for that reason
1t is questionable whether the railroads.
even with more cars and better facilities
could Immediately undertake TO do much
more business. The oldest and best-informed
railway officials state that there has never
been time when the railroads were fur
nishing so much work for common Iaborers
and for skilled men as now, and from many
parts OF the country comes complaint that
good quality of labor is not obtainable.
present conditions strikingly demonstrate
what an important industry to the country
are It's railways, no one interest distribut-
Ing as much money as comes from this
source, and In these times Of gigantic
strides In improving roadbeds and equip
ment the railways have become a great dis
trloutor or money TO the common Iaborers
as well as TO skilled labor. ~,
