Important Decisions.

The session of the Supreme Court Monday was a most important one. The decision of the court declaring constitutional was perhaps the most important and far-reaching opinion handed down by the Supreme Court for years. It means that improvement work being done at Pine Bluff, Helena, DeQueen and Brinkley, as well as at Russellville, shall be stopped, until these districts are reorganized, under the general statutes governing such cases. It applies only in cases of cities and towns, and does not affect any Improvements under way in this city. The constitutional provision under which the court held the law invalid was Section 27 of Article 19, which provides that no Improvements shall be made unless under and with the consent of majority in value of the property holders to be affected. Judge John Fletcher was counsel for Craig, who brought the suit to the Supreme Court, on appeal from the Poke Coun- " Chancery Court. The affirmation of the decision of the Izard Circuit Court, in the case of the Iron Noun tain ys. The State. is sweeping vic tory for the railroad commission, and establishes the power of the commis- sion without a shadow of doubt, to require and compel railroads to per form what is considered to be req sonable service to the public. The de- cision of the court, affirming the de- cision of the Independence County Cir cult Court in the case of Browning vs. The State. was no surprise to those who have kept in touch with the facts. Browning shot and killed T. W. Mid kiff, agent for the railroads at Wal nut Ridge, it being alleged that he became exasperated at Midkiff for his failure to receive reply to message sent earlier in the day. Browning will have to serve his term in prison.
