END OF AN UNwARRANTED ARREST.

The Sunday night before the election
in November a citizen of good repute was
arrested and taken to the police station,
charged with an attempt to bride an cleo
ton officer. BY the police authorities about
the station he was treated as a felon. The
police authorities sent for a man to come
to the station to see the man arrested, as
surfing him that the man under arrest de-
sired to see him, which was not true. The
man went there with the officer sent for
him, and was sharply questioned by the
police authorities 20 learn if he knew any
thing of the charges, after which he was
permitted to see the man who did not send
for him, as the police authorities had rep
resented. There was not a particle of
the city; nevertheless he was put under
outrageously heavy bonds. There was
nothing in the case except that an cleo
ton officer who had a most unsavory rec
ord ~endeavored to induce the accused to
offer him a bride. In fact, it was a case
trumped up for political effect, and, to
make it as effective as possible, the police
about the station treated an innocent man
i'm a most outrageous manner.
At the time the Journal denounced the
method pursued as an outrage upon a citi-
zen and an arbitrary proceeding on the
part of the police authorities. Months
have passed; the matter has been before
the grand jury, and that tribunal, after
considering the evidence, voted that there
was no cause for an indictment. There
was just as much evidence to convict when
this man was arrested and treated as a
felon as when the. grand jury found no
cause for Indictment; but the action of
the grand jury does not reach those who
made the original charges. Is there no
law for men who secure the arrest of citi-
zens upon trumped-up charges? Are the af-
idavits of men who nave been disgraced
because OF malfeasance In public position
always TO count against citizens of good
repute? 1t can be added that the grand
jury, in its report, refused to indict an
other citizen whom the police arrested and
paraded upon very dubious testimony.
There has been quite enough of this sort
OF thing at the police station.

In speaking OF the contracts that have
been let by the State Board Of Printing,
Secretary Thomas j.. Carter says in his
report: "The bids submitted show little or
no disposition on the part of bidders to
take advantage of the State by bidding
very high on certain articles and very
low on others. The successful bid for
the general printing, binding and station
cry on the present contract is probably
10 per cent. higher thar the former con-
tract for the same class of work, but taxi
ing into consideration the increase in
labor and all kinds of material used i'll
executing this work, which has advanced
as a whole from Is to 25 per cent, the
State has received a very satisfactory
contract"
This advance in labor and material
would apply to the Supreme and Appellate
Court reports, yet the successful bid for
this work is about 5 per cent. lower than
the former contract for the same class of
work.
Taking the contracts as a whole. and
considering the advance in labor and ma
terial, they are probably the lowest and
best contracts the State has ever received
for its printing.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
The Petition of the Westinghoust
Air Brake Company Denied.

Air Brake Company Denied.
The petition of the Westinghouse Air
brake Company for a writ of certiorari
to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals
to bring up for review the judgment of
that court in the case of the Westing-
house Company VS.. the New York Air
brake Company was denied In the Su-
preme Court yesterday. The New York
company was enjoined in previous litiga-
ton from using its "A" and "B" valves,
whereupon 1t devised &C" valve, which
the Westinghouse Compan. attached. The
Circuit Court (Judge Wallece) upheld the
validity of the New York company's pat
ent, and that judgment was affirmed by
the Court of Appeals Judges Lacomb.
Shipman, and Thomas, Judge Lacomb
dissenting. That judgment the Supreme
Court refused to review.
The Supreme Court yesterday affirmed
the judgment of the Court of Claims deny
ing the claims Of John n. Quackenbush for
pay alleged to be due him as commander
in the Navy for period Of several years
during which he claims to have been lille
gally removed from the service. His case
is a peculiar one. In 1874 he was tried
by a court-martial and sentenced to dis
missal. W. S. Schley was nominated to
fill the vacancy thus caused, but two
days later Quaekenbush was informed
that the sentence Of dismissal had been
mitigated to suspension for six years. In
1880 he was restored TO pay on waiting
orders. but given no command, and in
1884 his name was stricken from the rolls
by Secretary Chandler. He vainly sought
relief until 1887, when Congress passed
a law authorizing the President to ap
point him a commander IN the Navy and
place him on the retired list, which was
done. He brought suit to recover pay for
the period he was out of the service. but
the courts have ruled against him on the
ground that the act for his reappointment
restricted his right to recover.
