Motion to Quash Indictment.

When the case Of William +. May.
charged with malicious mischief by his
wife. Mary May, was called for trial
yesterday. Hon. John =. Kelly. who
represents the plaintiff filed a motion
to quash the indictment for the 'rea-
son that the warrant was issued and
sworn to by Mary May. the wife oe
the defendant. and. therefore, the
whole proceeding preceding the indict-
ment was void and insufficient to sus-
tain the indictment.
Judge Edwards, before whom the mo-
ton was made, refused the motion TO
quash, on the ground that it was resu-
lar on its face and that they could II 1T
go outside of that document to incor-
porate something into it. He intimatcd
that he would listen to a motion for
binding instructions to the jury TO re-
turn verdict of not guilty when the
ease came for trial. 1t will be the
first case called this morning.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Handed Down by Justice Harlan.
Lackawarna Case,

Washington. Jan. 29.-1n the United
states supreme court today two de-
cisions were handed down by Justice
Harlan in cases involving the uueS-
tions of the report of preference over
the mortGage holders of insolvent rail-
roads by the creditors of such roads
whose debts are contracted in connec-
ton with the current conduct of the
roads. The first of the cases was that
Of the Southern Railroad company vs..
the Carnegie Steel company. This suit
involved an Indebtedness contracted by
the Richmond and Danville Railroad
company, whose property was subsc-
Iuently absorbed by thu southern, to
the Carnegie company for two pur-
chasos of steel rails made by the rail-
road company within a year prior to
the appointment of a receiver Of the
Danville company The Carnegie COM
pany asserted that this condition of
affairs gave it an equitable lien and u
preference over the mortgage credit
ors. because the Indebtedness was con
tracted in the operation of the road
and was therefore a part Of it's run
ming expenses. The United States Cir
cult court Of appeals accepted this view
OF the case, and Justice Harlan's opln-
ion sustains that view, affirming the
decree of the lower court.
In the other case, that of the I.acka-
wanna Iron and Coal company vs.. the
Farmers Loan and Trust company. an
opposite conclusion was reached and u
this instance the contention Of the
LackaWanna company was sustained,
as the contract contains no promise n
pay out Of any part of the fund and
because several years had elapsed be-
tween the creation of the debt and the
appointment of IA receivcr,and for other
reasons not bringing it within the rule
laid down in the Carnegie case. This
case came from the Circuit court of
appeals for the fifth circuit.

ANTITRUST LAW VOID.
According to a Ruling of Judge
Kohlsaat.

Chicago, Jan. 29.--JudSe G. G. Kohl
Saat, in the United States Circuit court
today ruled the antitrust law of tn E
Illinois legislature of 1898 void on the
ground that the statute contains both
class and special legislation and is in
contraNrntiun of the federal and state
Constitutions, The opinion of the court
bears more directly on the ninth clause
of the Act of 1899, but the validity Of
the whole act is also denied.
The ruling was made in the case Of
the Union Sewer Pipe company against
Thomas Connolly. hut apnlicd as we'll
TO tn" ease of the same plaintiffs
AGAINST William Dee, the two cases
having been tried conformity. The court
took the ease from the Jury and gave
instructions that the finding be in favor
Of the plaintiff. The Union Sewer Pipe
company brought suit to recover on
promissory notes given by the defend
ants, who contended that the plaintiff
was "A trust organized for the express
purpose of creating and carrying out
restrictions i'm trade. The matter prob
ably will be taken to the United States
Supreme court. Opinions differ widely
as to whether Judge Kohlsaat's decis-
ion leaves Illinois without antitrust
laws. 1t is held by some lawyers that
the Act of 1893 did not supersede that
of 1891, and that the latter statute is
still in force. Judge Kohlsaat did not
touch upon this point in his decision.
