WASIIISOTOV , May 7.Tho oonrt
In bauo through Cuief Justice Onrtls ,
dollvorcd a discussion la the two
Howgato CMOB. la the lirst case ,
where the property had been nttachod
by the government which It was
alleged had been held by Howgato to
other parties , although the deed was
not recorded , the conrt decided
adversely to the government and dia
missed the attachment. The second
case was an appeal from the advene
decision of the lower court where the
defendant had toslited the attachment
of hi * property by the government because
cause the action had been brouoht by
pedal counsel Instead of the United
Skates district attorney. The appeal
was dismissed and the decision hold * .
The United State * ha * a legal right to
employ such professional aid a * it may
deem necessary.
KAIUtqAD RKODLATIOM AFFIRMED.
The supreme court decision rendered
dorod In the so-called "granger case'
of Neal Haggles against the people of
state of Illinois , in which the question
hi ralseo whether a charter granted to
the Central Military Tract Railroad
company , now the Chicago , Barling-
ton & Qaincy railroad , by the legisla
ture of Illinois In 1850 , or any snbso-
quont amendment therefor , contains
such contract between the atato and
company as to authorize the company
to establish Ita own rates of fro and
freight beyond Intorfcrenco by the
ntato. The court answers this ques
tion in iho negative , and hold the
directors of the railroad company cannot -
, not adopt any by-law fixing rates of
faro asrt might wh'.charaJa'c 'uiUgt
with the laws of the state relating to
the same subject. The judgment of
the supreme court of Illinois la af
firmed.
On the Oth of March , 1883 , Morgan
\ A. Lewis , passenger on the train of
the Chicago , Burlington & Qaincy
railroad company , tendered Neal Rag-
gles , a conductor of that company , 18
cents as fare for hi * transportation
from from Bad * to Neponset , a dis
tance of six miles. This was at the
maximum rate of three cents per mile ,
prescribed by the statute of Illinois
then in force. The conductor de
manded 20 cents , which was the faro
fixed by the railroad company. Lawls
refused to pay more than 18 cents aud
the conductor thereupon attempted to
eject him from the car. For this act
the conductor was prosecuted before
a justice of the peace upon the charge
ot assault and battery and fined $10
and costs. The case was then carried
np through the atato courts by sue-
costive appeals , the railroad sustaining
the conductor , and raltiug. the ques
tion of the right of the state to inter
fere with Its business by fixing ratet
of faro and transportation. A decls <
Ion was finally rendered in favor ol
the state by Its highest court , and the
railroad company thereupon appealed
to the supreme oonrt of the United
States , upon the ground that the act
of the general assembly of Illinois ol
April 15 , 1867 , fixing the maximum
rate of charges for transportation ol
pusengers on railroads in the state.
Was unconstitutional and void , be
cause It impaired the obligation ol
contracts In the charter * of varloni
companies which were merged int <

railroad company by the consolida

BLISSFUL DREAMS.
Bliss continued his argument In the
star ronto trial this morning. Ho
declared the official records showed
within three months after the data
npon which S. W , Dorsoy came Into
possession of his twolvu routes , ton of
them had boon Increased or expedited ,
and most of the orders had been
made whllo Dorsoy was In the city ,
aud no one know how far the thing
would have gone If a now administra
tion had not come in. The
honest men , McVoagh and James ,
stepped to the front , yet
with Incomparable Impudence Dor
soy had patched up Herd ell's
affidavit addressed to tbo president
and had attempted to defame the mem
ory of Garfield by asserting that upon
that affidavit Gaifiald would have
removed two of his cabinet. Blls was
speaking of the J. B. B. check ( the
Belford check ) when Wilson asked If
that had anything to do with the mall
business. Bliss replied that he did
not know. Dorsey had told Rerdcll to
oharee It to the mall and the defence
should have produced the books to
contradict llerdell neon that point.
If Doraey had cheated bis partners by
charging ; that check to them it don t
concern the prosecution. An impor
tant fact waa that llerdell had been
corroborated In bit statement.
PATENT PROCESS FLOUR.
The supreme court also rendered a
decision In the patent cane of Robert
L. Downton , appellant , agalnat Yoagcr
Milling company , which involves the
question of the validity of the patent
on what is known aa the now process
for making flour by crashing grain
between two rollera. The conrt holds
the patent is void for the want of nov
elty tha process which iho r.ppoUant
claims as his Invention having boon
clearly described aa early as 1847 , In
a publication called "Anglo Dy
American and Swiss Ssienoo Milling , "
ry OhrijtUn Wllholm Frltsoh , of
Lelpsio. The decree of the circuit
court dismissing the bill Is affirmed.
After reading over opinions in a
large number of cases , most of which ,
however , involved only questions of
local or private Interest , the conrt ad
journed for the term.

BEFOULED HIS NEST.
The Wife of Senator Fair Sues
for Divorce ,
Charging the Nevada Btatee-
man With Numerous
Infidelities ,
Special Dlipttch to Tut li ,
SAK FKANCISOO , May 7. A com
plaint was filed In the first judicial
district of Nevada , last Wednesday ,
by Thoroea Fair against Jas. d. Fair.
The canoe of the action la adultery on
the part of the defendant. Plaintiff
states she was married to the defend *
ant in CaUvorng county , California ,
December 18 , 1802 ; cntno to Novuda
with him In 1800) ) hs lived with him
until a few mouths ago , when she became -
came cognizant of certain acts of infi-
dflty on the part of defendant , ninoo
which tlmo oho has not lived with him.
The complaint says the defendant
committed adultery with ono Smith at
a house in Jesslo street , San Fran ,
olooo , sorao tlmo lu November , 1881.
Tno senator h also charged with com
mitting the aamr * crlmo with lurz
Leonard. Plaintiff cnyo the defend
ant has possession and control of n
largo amount of community property ,
the particulars of which aha cannot
sUtu. Mrs. Fair prays judgment as
follows :
First That divorce ba gruutod her
and that she bo awarded custody of
the children.
Second That such portion of the
community properly bo allowed and
set apart as nhall bo equitable and
just.Third
Third That defendant bo required
to pay Into court a reasonable sum to
defray expense of action and lawful
fees , and defendant pay alimony In
such an amount as the oonrt may doom
just for support of plalntiQ and chil
dren daring the pendency of the ac
tion and such further relief aa may
be deemed just.
The senator was in Oomttook last
Wednesday when the papers were
served on him , but left for ban Fran
cisco the same evening. It created
quite a sensation In Virginia City
society. Both parties possess great
wealth. Fair also represents Nevada
in the United States senate.
The prevailing opinion on the
Comstook Is that the Nevada states
man will not make a defense In the
suit , bat allow It to go by default and
acroo to each settlement of the prop
erty so may be determined upon by
counsel. Gossip also cnya that Iho
amount haa been agreed npon as fol
low * : Three million cash , ono million
five hundred thousand In real estate ,
at all events , in case of the divorce
being granted , but this is merely ru
mor.
mor.Tho case will come before Judge
Rising , and ia looked forward to with
considerable cariosity by nearly every
p.fo on the coast , ' \
