PERMANENT INJUNCTION.
Decision in Favor of the Western
Union Telegraph Company
in New Jersey.
II AFFECTS PENNSYLVANIA COMPANY,
The Rights of telegraph COmpan1e.
Under the United States Statutes,
tn Erect Lines ON Post Roads Re-
cited i'm Defense Of the Decision
Rendered.

Trenton. n. J., Jan. 14.-In the
United States circuit court, district
of New Jersey, a decision was filed
in favor of the Western Union Tele-
graph Co., permanently restraining
the Pennsylvania road from interfer-
ing with the company's lines along
the road.
The decision as handed down re-
cites the following United States
statute enacted July "a, 1866: ANY
telegraph company now organized or
which may hereafter be organized un-
der the laws OF any state, shall have
the right to construct, maintain and
operate telegraph lines along Or on
military or post roads Of the United
States which are or may be hereafter
declared such by law, but such lines
of telegraph shall be SO constructed
and made as to not interfere with
the ordinary travel on such military
roads, All railroads are declared by
law to be post roads.
The decision continues:
''While the question here at issue
has not had judicial Interpretation by
the court of last resort. the statute
of July "a, 1866, as applicable to post
roads, has several times been before
the courts for their construction. 1t
has been held that. because of this
law, one company having exclusive
privileges under the state law can
not prohibit the erection of the tele
graph lines OF another company on
the post roads OF the United States,
where such other companies have ac-
ctp1ed the provisions of the act of
July 81. 1866, when those in control
of such roads have given their as
sent.
1T has also been decided, in Unit
ed States vs.. Union Pacific Railroad
Co.: That no railroad company owning
Il post road Of the United States over
which interstate commerce is carried
on can consistently with the act Of
July "a 1866. bind itself by agreement
to exclude from it's roadway any tel
egraph company Incorporated under
the laws of a state, which accepts
the provisions of the act and desires
the use of that roadway for its lines
in such manner as will rot Interfere
with the ordinary travel thereon
The deciding judge, in closing. said:
I'm view of the facts presented and
for the reason stated, la have decided
to make permanent this in. Junction.
In this way the defendants will have
an opportunity to appeal to the next
term of the circuit court of appeals; !;
while, should the rule be discharged,
the complainant would have no APP
peal. and the injury to its property,
which is threatened, would have been
accomplished before the case would
have been properly considered. The
contention of the defendant company
that it has entered into new con-
tract with another telegraph COM
pany and that there is not sufficient
room on its right of way for the lines
of more than one telegraph company,
the decision says, ought to await the
final determination Of the case.

His antecedents and sympathies, it
is believed, qualify him for the role.

ALE" He SHOUTED.
Young StOItzman Becomes Ex-
cited Over the Evidence.

Fort Scott. Kas, Jan. 31.-In the trial
of William Stoltzman, charged with the
Morrison murder, the state introduced
two witnesses who testified that Stoltz-
man had identified a bloody hat found
in corn shock on the Stoltzman farm
as one belonging to his father, who had
left It at the farm when he moved to
Topeka The hat was found by men
who traced footprints from the murder
ed pOstmaster's store at Pawnee across
a corn field to the Stoltzman house. The
defense's only theory of the hat is that
1t was put there by Stoltzman's perse-
cutors. The trousers StoItzman wore on
the night of the murder are missing.
They were seen in the depot where he
was employed as agent for the Frisco
the day after the murder and when
asked what made spots on them he said
he had spilled oil on them while putting
out the switch lights Now he asserts
that the trousers were stolen out of the
depot.
There was almost a scene in the court
room when there was an outburst from
the prisoner at the bar Becoming
angered at the testimony of J. L Shop
pard, young StOltzman cried aloud,
That's a lie" All eyes were turned to
the prisoner, but nothing further left his
lips. There was a short silence and the
spectators were holding their breath.
The declaration was responsive to a
statement made on the stand by Mr..
Sheppard. He had testified that when
Stoltzman was shown the bloody hat
and asked whose it was that the pris-
Oner replied that it was fathers This
was the only sensational feature of Fri
days proceedings. The prisoner did not
appear agitated, but he gave a look at
the witness that was full of fire. All
through the trial until this outburst
Stoltzman has behaved himself in d
gentlemanly manner and has been an
orderly prisoner.

POUNDED HIS WIFE.
George Woodley Arrested for Extreme
Brutality.

George Woodley, an employe of the

night by Sergeant jenkins and Acting

Woodley, with his family consisting of
wife and six children. lives over Was
sons livery barn, at 215 West Sixth
avenue. The police knew nothing of
the trouble until Woodley's little daugh-
ter ran into the police station and be-
tween sobs told Sergeant Jenkins that
her father was killing her mother. and
that she had escaped by the back door
line for the scene of the trouble and
tarried not on the way. When they
reached the lWoodley fiat they found the
door locked, and it was not opened when
they demanded admittance. Instead of
stopping to argue the big officers SIM

the room. As they did SO Woodley rails

come nearer. Both officers drew their
revolvers and then jumped upon the

away from him and throwing him into
the corner of the room. Mrs Woodley

the f1imsy excuse of intoxication.
The injured woman was put to bed
and neighbor women called in to take

away with their prisoner. Woodley will
have a hearing in police court this af-

him that they viii not dare-to appear

ably make a worse showing according
to location.
MY contention has been for a num-
Der of years that the whole country
was beginning to feel the effects of
cutting off the dense forests. For
obvious reasons I have declined to
have my views published. but have
waited in hopes the department would
open the subject. Ex-Governor Rusk,
Of Wisconsin, while secretary of the
board of agriculture. repeatedly called
the attention of the country to the
necessity Of doing more than we were
doing in restoring the waste lands
where the timber had been cut off, a
subject of a great deal of writing and
talk but very little was done. The
secretary said plainly that the govern
ment didn't act on it's precepts. But
few people realize how fast the forests
are disappearing.
I'VE have abundant indication that
the crisis is upon US in some measure
and more should be done to counteract
its influence upon agriculture
