Decision by Judge Woods.

The United States Court Of Appeals, at
Chicago, yesterday handed down a decision
affirming the intcrlocutory order issued by
Judge Grosscup. in November. 1898, for
bidding the General Electric Railway
from laying tracks on certain South Side
streets of Chicago. The restraining order
was asked for by the Chicago. indianapolis
& Louisville Railroad, it being contended
that the laying Of tracks would not only
seriously interfere will access to the
freight houses of the company, but would
work an irreparable injury TO the property.
In delivering the opinion, Judge Woods
quoted numerous authorities to show
where and how abutting property owners
have a remedy at law and equity for their
grievance. He held that in the present case
relief at law would be inappropriate and
inadequate.

day decided that the three children of

serted his family. and was arrested for this

his parents. Judge Allen heard evidence on
this petition, and yesterday declined to

is MRS. zWICK LIABLE
FOR AN ATTORNEYS FEE FOR DE-
PENDING HER HUsBANDs
Case Involving Some
Points Is Now on ~TriaI-The
Higher Co-urts-Gossip.

Some interesting points are involved in
the suit of Edenharter & Null, attorneys,
to recover fees for services rendered Henry
T. Zwfck in the Criminal Court. The suit
went to trial in Room 3 yesterday on an
appeal from the Justices court. The chief
point involved is whether a wife is liable
for the debts of her husband.
Henry T.. Zwick was indicted on the
charge of embezzlemen and larceny. infor-
nation against him being furnished by the
management of the When clothing store.
In the Criminal Court the charge of embez-
element was dismissed and Zwick was
found guilty of petit larceny. On this
charge the court sentenced Zwick to one
day in Jail, but this sentence was afterward
suspended. Attorneys E~denharter & Null
represented Zwick in the Cr,mina Court.
Their fee was not forthcoming and they
brougt suit before a justice OF the peace.
They secured a judgment for 500, but Mrs.
Zwick appealed the case to the Superior
Court. The attorneys claim that Mrs. Zwick
should pay the fee. They say that when
they were employed it was explicitly under
stood that she should see that the bill vas
settled. Mrs. Zwick is resisting payment

for her husbands debts. Her attorneys say
that in assuming the obligation-if she did
she simply became surety for him. and they
point out that the law does not permit a
woman to become a surety for her husband.
On the other hand, it is commended that this
Is not a question Of suretyship.
The plaintiffs aver that Mrs. Zwick made
a fair and square contract with e that
they should be paid for their services, and
they contend that this is a debt that she
owes. They hold that she is as much re-
sponsible for the fee as she would be to the
proprietor of a dry goods store where she
purchased goods and promised to pay for
them. The suit went to trial before a jury.

STATE DENTAL BOARD TEST.
Argument I'm the Grant Clay Case Is
Heard by Judge Afford.

Argument was heard by Judge Afford, of
the Criminal Court, yesterday on the mo-
ton to dismiss the case against Grant Clay,
who was fined in the City Police Court on
the charge of practicing dentistry without
a license from the State. Clay appealed the
case to the Criminal Court. He is being
prosecuted on information furnished by the
State Dental Board. Henry N. Span, at
torney for Clay. contends that the Legisla-
ture had no right to delegate to any one the
power to appoint the board. AS the law
stand the Governor may appoint one men,
Der of the Dental Board, the State Board OF
Health another and three members may be
appointed by the State Dental Association.
Attorney Span asserts that the organiza-
ton of the State Dental Board is unconstf-
tutional. Judge Afford has taken the mat
ter under advisement.
