Court Sustain, The Blacklist.

Columbus, O., Jan. 24.-The
blacklist was practically sustained
here to-day, when the Supreme
Court decided in favor of the Nick
Ell Plate Railway, which had been
used by Frank Shaffer because
the road would not give him a
recommendation or a statement Of
his service. He claimed he could
not secure work elsewhere and
sued for damages.
The court said:
A master is under no legal OBJ
legation to give to his discharged
servant statement Of his service
and whether or not it was salts
factory and a discharged employee
cannot enter an action for damages
against company which discharg
ed him for refusal to furnish him
with clearance or statement of the
record of his service, although he
may have been unable to obtain
other employment in consequence
OF such refusal by the company.
It's the right of every person,
to employ or refuse to employ
in his business whatsoever he may
wish.

FRANKFORT Church,

Frankford, Del, Jan. 24.-The
dispute between the congregation
ofthe new frankfort M. L. Church
and certain townspeople of Frank
ford, because the latter desired a
thoroughfare through the church's
property, directly alongside the
editice, is fast ripening into siren
nous litigation.
The church folk, upon complet-
ing their handsome place of wor-
ship, desired privacy and quiet,
and, to protect themselves from
the noise of scores of railroad sta
ton patrons, several active church,
men assembled, early in the week
and erected a fence around the
property, enclosing the heretofore
open thoroughfare or short cut to
the station.
John H. Layton, president of
the council, proceeded to George
town where Charles L. Moore was
retained as counsel for the borough
and outsiders" as they were
termed. The churchmen, hearing
this, engaged Robert c. White as
their counsel. Town council met
on Wednesday night and voted to
have the little street opened, and
to award damages to the church
BY advice Of counsel, the church
men III council remained away
from the meeting so their oppon-
ents in council had no trouble
with their resolution.
Council awarded S25 to the
church for It's trouble, and the
cost Of the fence which had to
come down, and 6 cents damages
to these lot holders, nine in all:
Peter c. NAPLES, Charles G. Col
Inns, John L. Long, William A.
Gum, Robert S. Long, Luther NJ.
Cannon, Robert Poole, John H.
Dayton, landreth Layton. Now
to stop the flow Of pedestrians and
the noise attending it, injunction
proceedings, it is thought, will
have to be taken against the
municipal authorities.
