PHILADELPHIA. Pa, May 1.-THE

surprise to lawyers and others in this
city interested in the case. 1t had been
confidently expected that the court would
affirm every point in the lower court S
decision which was written by Judge
Gray and Cuncurred in by Judge Dallas.
Judge Burlington dissented from the ma
jority decision. Judge Dallas has since
retired from the bench, having reached
the retiring age.
1t is not yet clear what the Reading
company's position is under the decision
of the supreme court. While the Read
ing company was made IA defendant
when the suit was brought against the
coal carving railroads, its case was
passed over on certain legal grounds by
agreement of counsel for the government
and the defendants when argument was
heard last June.
J. ID. Campbell, counsel for the Read
ing company, said he would not discuss
the decision until he had read it. Neither
would he express an opinion as to what
further action would be taken.
John c. Johnson of this city, who
made the principal argument for the raii-
roads. and Francis l. Gowan, head OF
the Pennsylvania railroad legal depart
ment. also declined to discuss the case

pigeons eggs with good doses Of arsenic.
The crows swallowed them and seemed
to grow fatter and healthier. At last
strychnine was used and the pair were
seen picking at the egg. One of them
