An opinion was yesterday filed by
Judge M. w. Acheson, OF the United
States Circuit court, in which he over
rules the defense set up by the Ameri-
can Locomotive company in the suit
brought against 1t by the Dickson
Manufacturing company Of this city.
1t will be remembered that the Dick
son Manufacturing company sold its
locomotive works to the American COM
pany and that dispute arose over the
payment Of $4,000 by the latter corr
poration. The amount in question was
claimed by the Dickson company as
the cost to the vendor Of the locomo-
tives in process of construction at the
time the transfer was made. All items
ofgeneral shop expenses, such as light,
heat, fuel insurance, etc, were in
cluded
Suit was brought in the Circuit court
| to recover the amount, and the Defend
ant company in it's defense did not go
at all into the merits of the claim, but
Icontended that under the contract be-
tween the two companies all disputes
arising as to Interpretation or carry
| ing out Of the contract were to be re-
| ferred to a board of arbitration. The
| plaintiff should have sought to have
such u board appointed, it was con-
| tended, instead of having recourse to
| the court.
Judge Acheson, in his opinion, takes
an entirely contrary view and holds
the arbitration clause of the contract
to be illegal.
Plainly" he writes, 'the stipulation
for arbitration relied on to defeat this
action is an attempt to GUST the juris-
diction Of the courts to determine the
rights of the parties. The
an express promise to pay and is there
fore distinct and Independent"
The judge decides that the dispute
which has arisen between the parties
does not concern q matter Of mere
valuation. but involves an interpreta-
tion of the agreement entered into be-
tween the two parties. 1t requires a
determination OF the meaning Of the
words "cost to vendor of materials,
supplies and product, finished or in
process" and as to whether general
shop expenses are to be taken as an
element of "cost to vendor" The judge
declares that such an Interpretation
should be made by a court and not by
a board Of arbitration.
The defense based on the arbitration
clause is overruled and the case will
now go to trial again so as to give both
sides an opportunity 10 argue as to the
merits or dement's Of the claim for the
amount in question.

An Important Witness.

Andrew Conlin, superintendent OF lines
of the Scranton Railway company. left
yesterday for Boston, where he will tes-
tify in the suit brought by the Westing-
house Electrical company against an
other electrical company for an al
legged infringement by the latter COR
poration of a Westinghouse patent. The
patent is for an invention known as sec
tional insuator which permits the power
being shut off on one line and not on
others. 1t was invented by Earl r. Wet
more, who superintended the construc-
ton of the first electrical lines built in
this city and was first installed here. The
question of time enters largely into the
case and Mr.. Conlin's testimony will be
particularly valuable for that reason.

Finished Products.

From Farmers Review: Much
complaint is heard as to the low prices
of poultry, dressed or alive. A just
complaint in one sense, for the price
is low as compared with the prices Of
other things, but there is a cause for
1t and considerable Of the cause could
be remedied by the ones who sell the
poultry. How? Did you ever notice
the poultry in the shops, either the
dressed product or the live poultry In
coops? Did 1t look appetizing? After
looking it over did you go away with
a strong appetite for chicken for din.
ner? One day with another the stun
exhibited in shops is decidedly the
reverse Of appetizing, and the main
cause of the poor appearance is poor
stuff, poultry poor in flesh. Perhaps
II chicks were devoid of feathers there
would be fewer skinny things" on the
market, but anyone can tell whether
the poultry is At to eat or not by the
weight Of them.
Do you think II 1t were the rule
for hogs and cattle to 60 into market
in such flesh as poultry does that the
returns would be as good as they are
now?
Another great cause Is the poor
shape in which they are sent to mar
ket. If dressed they have not been
properly bled. picked, cooled and
packed; and II alive they are sent in
heavy. unsightly coops, too low, and
over-crowded. They are mixed up1
too much. Hens, pullets, ROSTERS,
with an occasional forlorn duck. goose
or guinea crowded In. Just one that
/ didn't care to keep. so in they go.
Grade your stun, and don't over
crowd. One rooster in coop Of hens
will probably lower the price for the
entire number. II you dress the poul-
try send to the market where you in
tend shipping. get their directions,
then follow them. Don't sell your
poultry until it is fat and don't rush
the stuff in regardless Of the market. |
Try to ship when the market is strong. |
Don't especially in extremes of wealth
er, start your poultry so it will arrive |
of a Saturday; better time 1t for
Thursday morning. No doubt there
are rogues on the market, but not all |
buyers are dishonest.-Emma Clear

A SURPRISED PHYSICIAN.

"A dying patient RECEIVERS through
he interposition Of humble German.
Chicago, Nov. 10.
Some weeks ago DR.. C., q very
reputable and widely-known physi-
clan, living on c. Street, was call
ed to attend a very complicated case
Of Rheumatism. Upon arriving at the
house he found man about forty
years Of age, lying in a Frustrated
and serious condition, with his whole
frame dangerously affected with the
painful disease. He prescribed for
the patient, but the nan continued to
grow worse, and on Sunday evening
he was found to be in a very alarm
Ing condition. The knees and elbows
and larger joints were greatly infiam-
ed, and could not be moved. 1t was
only with extreme difficulty that the
patient could be turned In bed, with
the aid of three or four persons. The
weight of the clothing was so painful
that means had to be adopted to keep
1t from the patients body.
The doctor saw that his assistance
would be of no avail, and left the
house, the members Of the family
following him to the door, weeping.
Almost Immediately the grief stricken
ones we're addressed by an humble
German. He had heard of the despair
of the family, and now asked them to
try his remedy, and accordingly
brought forth a hottie of st Jacobs
Oil. The poor wife applied this rem
edy. The first application eased the
patient very much: after few hours
they used 1t agair, and. wonder Of
wonders, the pain vanished entirely!
Every subsequent application improv-
ed the patient, and in two days he
was we'll and out. When the doctor
called a few days after, he was in
deed surprised.
