The second trial of Molineaux in New
York, resulted in verdict of not gull
ty, Tuesday. He was accused of poison
ing Mrs Adams was found guilty on

The effort of the civil authorities of
Schulkili county, to secure possession
of Sergeant Wadsworth of the 18th, for
shooting man while on duty, resulted
in his arrest in Pittsburg, Friday, and
release on $500, by order Of the Supreme
Court. Civil law is justly jealous of
power, although the military is essen
tial to the success of the civil organiza-
ton II is not fair to the State Guard
to send it on duty with its authority
and responsibility in doubt. The case
of Wadsworth if undecided would leave
| the soldier between two mePciless forces
the order of his superior officer back
ed by the State and the civil law backed
by the State. His position will be de-
fined by the Supreme court, and on
| that decision depends the future of the
| National Guard.
At Pittsburg, last Friday, Justice
| John Dean of the Pennsylvania Supreme
| Court handed down one Of the most
sweeping and important traction de-
cisions in the history of Pennsylvania,
in which he declares unconstitutional
acts of Assembly and portions of acts
permitting rival passenger railroads to
use $500 feet of an existing road for a
connection. The decision was com
plete surprise to Pittsburg railway Of
| ficials. An almost absolute monopoly
of the street railway business of Pitts
burg, at least on all Of the important
| downtown streets, is thus given to the
| Pittsburg Railways Company.
| The decision was rendered IN the case
of the Philadelphia, Morton & Swarth-
more Street Railway Company against
the Chester. Darby q Philadelphia
Railway Company, the Union Railway
Company Of Chester, and the Chester
Traction Company.
