Separate Conches for Whites and Blacks in Louisiana—Other Sa- preme Court Decisions. In Hennington against Georgia, Justice Harlan delivered the opinion of the United States Supreme Court yesterday. ‘The case involved the constitutionality of state law prohibiting running freight cars Sunday. The law was held valid. In-Plessy against Ferguson, the Louisi- ara law requiring railroad companies to supply separate coaches for white and col- ered persons was held constitutional, Jus- tice Harlan dissenting. In the case of the Singer sewing machine trade mark case, from the circuit court for the northern district of Illinois, which was against Singer, was decided for the com- pany. This case involved a conflict between the Singer Manufacturing Company and the June Manufacturing Company. The ac- tion wes begun by the Singer company to restrain the June company from making sewing machines and tateling them with the name “Singer.” The court held the right to use a name on articles manufac- tured expired with the petents, but others in using a name as in this case must show the source of manufacture. In Martha Barnitz against Beverly, from the supreme court of Kat sas, the decision of that court was reversed. ‘This decision involves the constitutionality of the mort- gage redemption law of Kansas of 1893, and is far-reaching in effect. The Horsa Case. The cese of the alleged filibusters of the steamer Horsa, Wiborg, Petersen and Johansen, was submitted to the Supreme Court for its decision without arguments. The case had been set for hearing today, but Mr. W. Hallet Phillips, the attorney for the plaintiffs, stated to the court that the lateness of the session and the im- portance of an early decision has impelled the Attorney General agree to submit the case on the printed briefs. In United States against Laws, it was devived that chemists do not fall within ss of persons to whom the law pro- hiliting contracts for labor to be perform- ed in this country applies. It was based upon the employment of a German named Zeliger to come to this country to act as a chemist on a Louisiana sugar plantation. In Bacon et al. against Texas, the di cision restores to the public doman 300,00 acres of land in that state, which Bacot and his associates claimed to have pur- chased. In Murray, alias “Greasy Jim,” upon error from the Louisiana supreme court, the latter court was sustained. Murray is a@ negro, who was found guilty of murder €nd sentenced to death, but made applica- tion for a transfer of the case to the United States circuit court on the ground that persons of his own race were ex- cluded from the jury by which he was tried. The supreme court holds Murray was not deprived of any rights guaranteed him by the Constitution of the United States. In Hilborn against the United States, the ccurt affirmed the decision of the Court of Claims, involving the right of Hilborn as district attorney for the district of Cal- {fornia to appropriate to his use fees col- lected under the Chinese exclusion laws. The court held he must account for such collections. State Boundaries, In the boundary dispute between Towa and Missouri the court extended the time for the ccmmissioners to make their re- port until July 1. The court overruled the exceptions of Kentucky to the finding of the commission- ers appointed to fix the boundary between that state ani Indiana at the mouth of the Green river and entered an order fix- ing the boundary in accordance with the findings of the commission. In Mrs. Eugenie Kalinski vs. the Su- Preme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias it was held that Mrs. Kalinski was entitled to recover the amount of her husband's insurance in that order, notwithstanding he failed to pay his dues, when he had paid his assessments on account of his in- surance. In Wong Wing and three other China- men vs. the U. 8. the judzment of the circult court for the eastern district of Michigan was reversed. The Chinamen Were sentenced to imprisonment at hard labor in the Detroit house of correction on the charge of being unlaw‘ully in the United States. The question was whether Congress can promote exclusion of Chinese by imprisonment at hard labor without trial by jury. The court holds there must be a judicial trial to establish the guflt of the accused. In the IMinois Central Railroad Co. vs. Illinois, involving the right to compel the railroad company to run all of its trains into Cairo, a county seat, under a state law, a decision was rendered in favor of the railroad company. The motion to advance a large number of cases from the private land court, filed by the solicitor general, was denied. Winchester and Potomac Case. The court reversed the decision of the Court of Claims in United States vs. the Winchester and Potomac railroad. The Ccurt of Claims had decided the railroad company was entitled to collect from the United States for old iron sold by the gov- ernment. ‘The road was eelzed by the Union forces during the war, and when it was repaired the iron taken up was sold by the government. The case of Cornell vs. Hetty Green, in- volving lands in Chicago, was dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The appeal of George P. Webster and William A. Brady vs. Augustin Daly was dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Web- ster and Brady had been enjoined from using the “railroad scene” in their play of “after Dark,” because it was an imitation of a scene in Daly’s play “Under the Gas- light.” The effect of the Epa is to per- petuate the injunction. SSS COAL IN PLENTY. The Outpet in 1595 Greater id the Price Lower Than Previously. The statistician of the United States geological survey, E. W. Parker, has com- pleted the compilation of the statistics of coal production in the United States during the year 1895. The total output was 171,- 804,742 long tons, having a total value at the mines of $197,572,477, an increase over the production of 1894 of 19,550,000 long tons, and an increase in value of about $11,500,000. The output on anthracite coal in Pennsylvania increased from 46,358,144 long tons in 1894 to 51,785,122 long tons in 1895, a gain of over 5,400,000 long tons. The value increased only about $3,500,000, from $78,488,063 to $82,019,272, showing that an- ee coal was cheaper in 18% than in 804. ‘The product of bituminous coal increased from 118,820,405 short tons of 2,000 pounds in 1804, to 134,. short tons in 1895, a gain of over 15,500,000 tons. The value increased about $8,000,000. There was an increased production in all but five of the twenty-nine coal producing states. Ala- bama and Pennsylvania showed phenom- enal gains of more than 25 per cent, Ala- bama increasing from 4,397,178 short tons in 1904 to 5,679,775 tons In 1895, with a valua- tion of $5,348,795, and Pennsylvania from 89,912,465 short tons to 50,017,446 short tons, valued at $35,902,078. The states in which a Gecreased product was shown were Georgia, Kansas, North Dakota, West Virginia and Wyoming. The principal loser was Kansas. The decreases in the other states were slight. The prod- uct among ~ other leading coal states was: Illinois 735,864 tons; value, = 29,- 157; Ohio, 1. En 133 tons; value, $10,537,532, and West Virginia, 11,424,803 tons; value, $7,787,120. SSS Young Girl Acquitted of Murder. Gertrude Teylor, aged fourteen years, Was acquitted last week at Oregon, Mo., of the murder of her father. Some weeks ago, in a fit of anger, she put poison into the coffee. Her father died and her brother and sister-in-law were made invalids for life, while others of the family were made temporarily ul. The girl, after several days, confessed. Her uncle, who is wealthy, stood by her, going her bail and furnishing the money for her def2use. The jury was out but two hours, LEGION OF LOYAL WOMEN.
