No. 1,077.
The State v. Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway Company.
Supreme Court.' — Jurisdiction.—Constitutionality of Statute. — The Supreme Court has jurisdiction of all appeals where the constitutionality of a statute is involved.
From the Decatur Circuit Court.
D. A. Myers, D. Wilson, S. A. Bonner, M. D. Tackett and B. F. Bennett, for appellant.
J. T. Dye, B. K. Elliott, W. F. Elliott and G. Ewing, for appellee.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
This proceeding was instituted by the State against the appellee upon affidavit and information filed by the prosecuting attorney, under and by virtue of sections 1 and 2, of an act approved March 1, 1891, Acts 1891.
The sustaining of appellee's motion to quash the affidavit and information is the only error assigned.
The appellee's counsel seek to sustain the ruling of the circuit court upon the contention that the statute upon which the prosecution is founded is unconstitutional and invalid, and have, for that reason, filed the proper motion to transfer the cause to the Supreme Court.
Filed Feb. 20, 1894.
We are of opinion that this motion must be sustained. Benson, Admr., v. Christian, 2 Ind. App. 599, 129 Ind. 535.
The clerk is, therefore, ordered to transfer the cause to the docket of the Supreme Court.
