Philadelphia. Sept. 10. - Judges
Wilson and Audenried. In common
pleas court. Tuesday forenoon de-
clared unconstitutional the 2cent
railroad fare law passed by the last
legislature. The case upon which the
decision was made will be at oncs
taken to the state supreme court.
The 2-cent fare law was enacted by
the legislature a. q result Of agitation
during the last compaign. all parties
pledging themselves in favor II such
legislation. The railroads. led by the
Pennsylvania, and Reading. made .
strong fight against the enactment.
but bot. branches OF the legislature
passed the bill. with practically an
unanimous vote. The act was to 20
into effect October 1.
The Pennsylvania was the first to
attack Its validity. bringing q suit In
the local courts to restrain the county
Of Philadelphia from collecting fines
for violating Its provisions. The
hearing lasted nearly q week. and
among the witnesses we're President
McCrea and several OF the vice presi.
dents Of the Pennsylvania railroad.
The contention OF the company was
that the law was not constitutional.
and that the 2-cent rate was fixed
without any investigation on the part
OF the legislature as to whether the
railroads could make fair profit un.
der the law. which. the company as
serts, II cannot do. All other rail.
roads operating In Pennsylvania have
also brought similar proceedings in
various counties OF the state. but no
decisions have been rendered, as It 10
understood that the Pennsylvania
suit will be made the test case In the
higher court.

 The managers of the teams com posing the Junior Amateur league ex- pect to realize much more than they anticipated from the result of last nights dance. President Joseph Smith was we'll satisfied with the money taken in.
 --It was rumored yesterday morn ing that almost 100 laborers of the O'Brien Construction Co demanded an increase from $l.75 to $2 yester- day and threatened to strike if the money was not forthcoming. At the main office of the concern it was stated that as far as it was known no trouble occurred at any time yes terday. Foreman Boylan is said to have been in charge of the gang which was looking for the increase.
 Milk and Food Inspector Keeley is on the lookout for a certain youth in Brooklyn, but in the meantime he is not saying word to his friends about the manner in which he was fooled last Saturday by daring young chap of this section who sneaked away with the bob veal" which the inspector and Officer Tehan took out of Dondero's store. Keeley's wagon was at the corner of Bank and North Leonard streets and the store in which he found the young calf was as the foot of James street. As the doctor did not care to destroy his clothes by juggling the veal down to the wagon, and as he did not wish the officer to soil his uniform by touching the unwhole- some article. he secured young fel- low to carry the bundle down to his vehicle. He then proceeded to exam inc the proprietor. After conversing for few minutes with Dondero he directed his way toward his wagon. Imagine his surprise when he reached it and found that the young fellow had not put in an appearance with the Dob veal" me inspector and the police ser proceeded to get a line on the boy that had the ef- frontery to depart with the veal, but they were unable to find any trace of him, and the veal is still among the missing. It is thought that the boy to whom Keeley gave the veal went to another wagon near River side street and placed the meat there.
