circuit court of the United States it
was contended that the defendant rail
way corporation was corporation of
the State of Kentucky. and so Il citizen
of that State. and that the court was
without jurisdiction. After discussing
the question whether or not the act OF
the Legislature of Kentucky created a
new corporation. or merely licensed and
recognized the Indiana corporation the
court says:
but even if the Kentucky acts did
create new corporation out of the

These cases are absolutely conclusive
upon the Interpretation and construc-
tion OF the act. and forever set the ques-
ton at rest as to its abortive attempt to
prevent removals to the Federal Court.
/ am therefore forced to the conclusion
that the Craig law is not a wise or
wholesome one, and should not remain
on the statute book of the State.

THE TYPOGRAPHICAL FAIR.
\ Full Meeting of the Committees
Held Last Night.

Everything tends to show that the fair
which will be given by Columbia Typo
graphical Union, No. 101, November 4 to
December ., viii be a great success. The
friends of the union are giving ready and
generous response 10 the solicitations for
aid. This is evidenced by the fact that
scarcely an hour passes each day that a
delivery wagon, freighted with articles con-
tributed for the fair, does not stop at the
Temple and unload In fact during the
last week the Temple has become a sort
of a receiving station for goods for the
fair.
During the week great activity has been
noticed among the members of the different
subcommittee. Last night every one OF
the committees met at the Temple: there
were not rooms sufficient upstairs TO
accommodate all so Mr.. Frank Nor
rison. secretary of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor. kindly rendered the use OF
President Gomper's private Office for the
use of the downtown" chapels
Among the contributions received during
the week are mentioned SIS worth of dental
work by the Washington Dental Associa-
tion, and $50 pounds of coffee by the
Dwirell- Wright Coffee and Spice Company
of Chicago, and also over $500 worth of
other contributions from the same firm

James solomon struck Elliott Mend
cnhnII in SeIf-Defence.
James Solomon, who for twenty-five
years has been employed as a conductor by
the Metropolitan Railway Company, was
the defendant in the Police Court yesterday
afternoon TO a charge Of assault preferred
by Elliott W. Mendenhau, also in the en-
ploy of the railway company, and who was
formerly a policeman. The assault was
committed Saturday at the car barn Of the
railway company at Fourteenth and East
Capitol Streets Mendenhall was struck
on the head with an iron bar by Solomon
The wound inflicted was of such a nature
as to prevent the appearance of the prose
cutting witness in court until yesterday.
Several witnesses were examined in rela-
tiOn to the assault and from their testi-
mony it was adduced that not only was the
assault provoked, but that it was commit
ted in self-defence The Witnesses by their
testimony established 10 the satisfaction
of the court that Mendenhall had an open
knife In his hand and threatened the life
of the defendant before a blow was struck.
Judge Scott reviewed the testimony and
stated that the language said TO have been
used by Mendeuhall toward the defendant
was sufficient to have provoked an assault
to say nothing of the open threat made
The case was then dismissed and Solomon
released from custody.
