HOPPE, Agent for Alton and Madron Bounty, Ho Cltonli Will He from In Time to Ent Tholi Dinner with Their Chicago Cnnes of tho New York Murderers Under Sentence of Death Electricity Alto Advanced. WASHINGTON, Oct. picas 01 Moses Salomon for an early hearing ol the Chicago Anarchist cases has been granted by the United States supreme court.

The court nlao advanced the cases the New York murderers, Nicola Tiezzla and James MeElvaine, for ment on the first Monday la December, and the cases of Schwab and Fleldon will be taken up as soon as the electrocution cases are disposed "of. Neither Salomon wai present, though quite a number of spectators who hnd learned that the decision on the motion to advance would be decided were present in tho hope of hearing something of the famous case, but they were disappointed again, Justice Field merely announcing that the motion to advance the appeal case of Fielden imd Schwab, with others which he mentioned, would be advanced, Then he named the day and sat down. The Hope of Attorney Salomon, The electrocution cases muy require the entire day to argue them. In that event the anarchist cases which follow will lie heard the first thing on the next day. It will take one or two days for General Butler and Mr.

Salomon to present theii argument and doubtless as many more for the defense to present theirs. The decision of the court may be given within a fortnight following. The attorney general said Monday that Attorney Salomon's hope that bis clients may be liber- erated in time to take their Christmas dinners In Chicago may be realized: A greal deal of interest in the case is manifested here and Attorney Salomon's belief that he will succeed has a number oi supporters among the legal fraternity. Should the anarchists be liberated It would be, these supporters think, on the ground that the prisoners were not in court at the time the Illinois supreme court passed sentence. The habeas corpus plea is not, they think, so well founded.

Boyd vs. Thayer. Ex-Attorney General Garland, acting as counsel for James E. Boyd, plaintiff in error, made a motion in the supreme court of the United States Monday to advance for argument the case of Boyd vs. John M.

Thayer, known as the Nebraska gubernatorial case. J. L. Webster, acting for Governor Thayer, opposed the motion, stating that the attorneys for his client would not bo ready to appear and argue the case until after the Christmas holidays. The court took the matter under advisement.

The Boyd-Thayer case bus attracted considerable attention throughout the country. Boyd was elected governor of Nebraska on tho Democratic ticket to succeed Thayer, Republican, who did not run for second term. Before Mr. Boyd could be inaugurated the case was brought into court on the contention that he was not a citizen of tho United States, being of foreign birth and never having been naturalized. Continued to Act aa Governor.

The supreme court of the state of Nebraska affirmed this contention and Thayer continued to act as governor. Mr. Garland contends that nearly one-half of Boyd's term of office" as governor must expire before the case con be determined, no matter how early a decision may be given, and that If the cose is permitted to remain on the docket the whole term will expire and another gubernatorial election will be held in Nebraska. It will be remembered that there was some interest manifested as to whom President Harrison would recognize as governor of Nebraska while he was In Omaha, last May, returning from his grand circuit of the country. Just before he reached Omaha the Nebraska supreme court decided that Boyd was not a citizen and the president, consequently, recognized Thayer.

Another Case Advanced, Tho supreme court also advanced the case of the Chicago and Grand Trunk Hallway company against Thomas Wellman to be heard when a full bench is secured. The case involves the constitutionality of an act passed by the Michigan legislature fixing passenger rates for more than five miles at from 2 to 3 cents per mile according to the mileage earnings ot the road.

White, a charming widow of this city, has sued A. E. Cramton, a wealthy bachelor of Vassar, for 150,000 damages for breach of promise. Cramton and Mrs. White met In 1881) and the widow claims that Cramton had known her but a short time when he proposed marriage.

OF INTEREST TOJTRADES UNIONS. Important Handed Down by thn I'ennnylranla Supreme Court.

LANCASTER Oct. sweeping decision against trades union ownership of trade marks, and emphatically againit their employing the same to stigmatize or injure non-union com pot Horn, has been handed down by Judge Williams, being concurred in by the other supreme court judges. The Ciyiirnmkers' International union, No, 120, of Ephruto, Lancaster county, recently restrained John H. Brendle, a clijnrnmker, from using the CignrmakerH 1 International union label on his goods. Tho county court sustained this injunction mid Brcndlo appealed to the supremo court.

Judge Williams reverses the lower court's decision on the ground that, the 1 union is a personal and social organization, not commercial one, and under the lav; of congress cannot own a trade mark. What the Union I.itbol The union label describes the cigars It' accompanies as lolng made by workmen, mid adds that all cignrH not having the label hro of "interior, rut, shop, coolty, prison or Illthy tenement house workmanship." IlegurdiiiK this Judge Williams' decision says: "This is HI) attempt to uso the publlc'ns a menus of coercion in order to tlnd a market for good;) or labor. Filthiuess and criminality ot character depends on conduct, not on membership of a union. Legitimate competlon rests on superiority of workmanship and business Smethods, not on the of vulgar epithets and per- uonal dunuhciutions. The International union in this case bus un avowed purpose to do barm to non-union men, to prevent the sale of their work, to cover them with opprobrium, and asks a court of equity to say that they have a right to do it.

We decline to say so." News Notes and Gossip from New York City. A SIX DAYS' CONTEST ON BICYCLES. DOUBLE TRAGEDY IN IOWA Caused by Mnn's Unsuccessful Effort to Win a Young DCBUQUK, Oct. romance of unrequited lovo ended Sunday in a double tragedy. A young farmer named Hahn, living near McGregor, sixty miles north of here, had been paying attention for some time to Mary Otto, a German girl who lived with her uncle, John Otto, on a neighbariug farm, Hahu was inclined to be wild, and neither the girl uor her relatives smiled upon his suit.

He was persistent, however; and so worried Miss Otto with his importunities that early last week she went to McGregor so as to avoid him. Sunday morning Hahn appeared at Mr. Otto's residence and demanded to see the girl. Otto replied that she was in McGregor, and ordered him, to leave the premises. Captured the Miscreant.

Hahn refused to go, and hot words followed, ending by his drawing a revolver and snooting the elder Otto dead. Otto's sou grappled with Hahn, but he, too, 'received a bullet, inflicting a fatal wound. Hahn then started for McGregor, declaring he would kill the girl. A number of farmers gathered and pursued the murderer, but did not dare to arrest him until officers from McGregor, who had been notified, appeared. Hahn resisted arrest, but was finally captured and lodged: in jail at McGregor.

Much excitement prevailed, and talk of lynching was freely indulged in by the citizens of McGregor.
