INJUNCTION SUIT DISMISSED.
An Appeal Taken i'm the Matter of the
VigO County Bridge.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. 23.-Judge
Stimson, of the Superior Court, to-day over
ruled the motion for a new trial Of the in
junction suit of w. r.. McKeen to prevent
the County Commissioners from spending
$4,000 on a bridge west of the city. The
ground for the motion was the alleged fact
that the new law, creating the County
Council, provided that no expenditure other
than those entered upon at the time the
council was organized should be made, I'M
less authorized by the County Council. 1t
was maintained by Mr.. McKeen's counsel
that the law intended that the council
should nave supervision over all'appropria-
lions of county money at once. and not for
expenditures after Jan. 1 next, as is gener-
ally assumed. If the council had failed to
make an appropriation for the interim, that
was a failure on its part to perform its
duty. Judge Stimson quoted from a recent
opinion of Attorney General Taylor, to the
effect that the law did not give the coun-
ellis authority over expenditures until Jan.
i. and on this opinion based his decision in
overruling the motion for a new trial. Mr..
Mckeen'S lawyers at once gave notice of
an appeal to the Supreme Court. The Mas
sillon Bridge Company, which has the con-
tract, is hesitating about doing the work,
although the commissioners have told il to
go ahead and finish the bridge before the
first of the year.

ANDERSON, Ind, Oct. 23.-The lamp
chimney houses in this county, the Lippen-
colt at Alexandria and the Mccoy and the
Macbeth at Elwood, which have been closed
for the past week by a strike of the boys,
were put in operation again this morning by
the boys returning to work at the old
scale of wages. 1t has been found that
nothing lies within the power of the State
to keep the Nevin Glass Company from en-
ploying the feminine labor which has re-
placed the boys. The report was sent out
that girls were being employed, but upon
investigation it is found they are, as a
general thing. women of thirty or thirty
five years. The State is able only to pro-
hibit the employment of girls below the
age Of sixteen. The Nevin Company, how.
ever, is being waited upon and effort will
be made to put the boys back.

wages, compared with those previously re-

Indiana concerns which have recognized the
union during the year. and quite a number
who are now considering such a move.
