ffARH COKKEOTAnOKS FOS THE EXPOSITION
Pittsburg was yesterday given over to the
visitors of the British Iron and Steel Insti
tute, the Verein Deutsche Eisenbuettenleute
and the American Institute of Mining En
gineers. Royally she entertained them,
though still in the democratic fashion of
the Republic.
After the meeting in the morning, the
visitors were taken on tours of exploration,
that they might know for themselves the
greatness of the Pittsburg.region.
The visitors express themselves both sur
prised and pleased with our wonderful
country and its remarkable resources. Tbey
will go home, they say, understanding bet
ter ihan ever before what a wonderful
country "Ills is, and what a formidable and
respectallc rival it is in the markets of the
world.
The close of the day's proceedings was the
reception in honor of the distinguished vis
itors at the Duquesce Club, on Sixth ave
nue. And a very successful and enjoyable
close it was to entertainers and enter
tained alike.
"Well rieased "With Their KecepHon.
At 8 o'clock the reception began, and at
11 o'clock the guests began leaving, though
all had not gone until midnight They left
feeling very well satisfied indeed.
Not more than half of the 630 visitors at
tended the reception, but Pittsburg's society
people turned out in large numbers to Wel
come t'uosc aho were presec ao the total
att:iidauce was about 1,500 persons, fuKy
the number expected.
Beautiful decorations met the eye every
where. The reception hall was a bower of
beauty; walls and ceiling were hung with
white silk, with only here and there a dash
of color by the display of the national colors
represented in the throng. Here the visitors
and their entertainers met on common
ground, talked, chatted and laughed as
suited their several tastes.
Beautiful women in handsome costumes
lent the grace of their presence, probably
one-third of all present being ladies. An
drew Carnegie was a center of attraction,
being surrounded all of the evening with
his friends and admirers. The distinguished
visitors from abroad were lionized and petted
to their heart's content
ISeautyin the Ballroom.
From the reception hall the overflow
went naturally into the ballroom, which
was crowded with the beauty and brains
present In the balcony above, Gernert's
Orchestra discoursed sweet strains of music
to the murmur of voices below. Everybody,
or nearly everybody, was in full dress, both
men and women. The scene, viewed from
the gallery above the ballroom, was fascina
ting. Costly gems glittered in the artificial
light, stately forms beat in time-honored
swallow-tail coats and fine rounded arms
and white throats dazzled the beholder.
Decorations in the ballroom were beauti
ful as in the reception hall. The flags of
the three nations represented were prom
inent in the display. Beautiful silk flags,
they were, hanging in gorgeous folds of
color, riowers were used profusely, roses
and sniilax predominating. Festoons of
roses hung from the walls, and the air of
the place was laden with their sweet per
fume. An AlMieilc lianquet IlalL
At about 10 o'clock the movement was
started toward the dining room by gentle
men accompanied by ladies, all others being
excluded until 10:30, when the doors were
thrown wide to everybody.
In the center of the room was an oval
structure. This was surmounted by elegant
designs wrought in creams and chocolate,
the center piece being a tower of mediaeval
architecture, four feet high. The tower was
flanked on either side with wreaths of
laurel and smilax surrounding beautiful
and rare roses. The east end of the table
presented a Roman pavilion, with a finely
executed human figure in the center, while
the western end presented figures in the
Greek style of art The lower terrace of the
table was laden with confections and edibles.
At the east end of the room was a long
counter where ices and wines were served.
Trie room was thronged to the point of dis
comfort, from the opening of the doors nntil
11:30 o'clock. Gallants struggled through
' the surging crowd with dainty refreshments
for the I jir ones in their charce. Cham

every one present by the polite attendants.

OUR EUROPEAN VISITORS HAVE AT LAST
SEEN A GAS WELL.
Culmination of a Journey of 4,000
ariles A Trip to the Wildwood Field
Watcliing the Drilling of an Oil Well
A Fountain of Golden Fluid.
Three hearty English cheers announced
to the world at large, and particularly to
the inhabitants of Allegheny county, that
the result of a pilgrimage of 4,000 miles had
been attained that a natural gas well was
no longer a legend or a traveler's slory it
was a reality that had been witnessed by
300 pairs of Enropean eyes.
A number of excursions were arranged to
entertain the visiting scientists yesterday,
but the trip that offered the greatest, and,
to the majority the only inducement, was
the one to the "Wildwood oil field.
It was expected that the tramp over rugged
hills, and occasionally swampy dales, would
not be a drawing card, but the management
forgot that what was to them a very common
sight was in reality the eighth wonder of
the world to onr friends from across the
ocean. From 60 to 100 persons were expect
ed, and considerable surprise, and some con
sternation, was experienced when 300, or
considerably more than half of the entire
delegation, appeared at the Pittsburg and
western depot to take tne tram tor Wild
wood. The Trip to Wildwood.
The special train consisted of five coaches,
and nearly as many stood up as found seats.
The expedition was in charge of Messrs. J.
J. Vandegnft, J. T. Buchanan and Charles
Meyran. These gentlemen, however, had a
very easy time. The pilgrims were in a
happymood. They had come here to see the
sights, and minor difficulties or inconven
iences did not deter tbem.
The train reached "Wildwood about 250
p. M., where "W. E. Griffiths, the Columbus
of this field, and "W. J. Young; President of
the Forest Oil Company, which has large
interests in this field, were present to re
ceive and take care of the visitors. Car
riees were in waiting, on a basis o a total
oi 0 visitors, but when the train unloaded
over 300 passengers the management decided
that only those who were unable to stand
the tramp should be allowed to ride.
A Beautiful and Lucrative Country.
The day was delightful. The trees were
clothed in their best, and their foliage rep-j
resented a symphony in gold, red and
brown. The scenery was anything but
tame, and this led one of the tourists to
remark during the stroll to the Bridge
water gas well: "This country is not only
remarkably lucrative, but wonderfully
beautiful."
"When the well was reached the visitors
were shocked by the hissing of the escapiug
gas, as they have already realized the mone
tary value it represents. They asked if there.,
was no way to prevent this waste, and ap
peared to be but partially satisfied when
told that a pipe line was in course of con
struction to carry nature's fuel to towns,
where citizens and manufacturers were
awaiting its arrival with impatience. After
the visitors examined the derrick, the gas
was turned into a pipe runninz 200 or 300
yards from the well and was then ignited.
The fierce flames drove back many ot the
more curious, but in spite of the hot blast,
which forced them to shield their faces with
their hands, they crowded nearer and nearer.
Esthetic and Commercial Views.
The ladies, of whom there were 30 or 40
in the party, were especially delighted with
the display. , .They said it was "awfully
orettvl" -but 'their, hvsbands., brothers ana
fathers crowded around Mr. Griffiths and
wanted to know upon what' basis it was
furnished to iron mills. When told that
the cost was but 75 per cent of coal per ton
of finished product they made copious notes
and realized at once why Pittsburg was so
great
The gas was turned off and the flame died
ont This beemed to be the signal for a
"Hip, hip, hip, hurrah!" which is seldom
heard outside of Her Majesty's dominions,
but which was taken up right heartily,
and sounded strangely as it echoed and re
echoed from the hills, which 100 years ago
resounded with the American eagle's
screams for liberty.
The line of march was taken up, and after
climbing a steep hill, Wetzel No. 7, an oil
well now drilling, was reached. Seats
had been arranged lor the visitors, but few
took advantage of tbem they wanted to see
a really real oil well.
Climbing Up the Derrick.
The crowd around the drillers became
thicker and thicker, until one energetic, al
though stout and gray-haired gentleman,
climbed up the derrick to obtain a better
view. His example was contagious, and in
a few seconds he was joined by nearly half
of the partv. The next well visited was
Wetzel No. 3, which is doing 1,000 barrels a
ay. While there was nothing sensational
in watching the thick odorous fluid bubble
up, the visitors were greatly interested in it,
and did some figuring on their note books
to arrive at the value of such a property.
The culmination ot the day was the shoot
ing of Smith No. 2. This well is an inter
mittent gusher, which is occasionally
spurred to increased action by exploding ten
quarts of nitro-glyrerine within its inmost
recesses. This was done to-day. An empty
shell and a "go-devil" were exhibited to the
tourists, and then the charge was exploded.
Several seconds elapsed, then the oil com
menced to bubble up. It rose higher and
higher, until it overtopped the 80-loot der
rick, and fell in a golden shower. The
color of the column chanced from greenish
gold to golden-green, the stream became
gradually thinner and lighter, until it
finally died away, and a spontaneous cheer
arose from the party. This concluded the
day's sight-seeing, and the party returned
to town, reaching Pittsburg about 8 o'clock.
Opening the Eyes of Europeans.
The effect of the trio was shown in a re
mark by Mr, G, H. Harrison on the return
trip, in which he summed up his impres
sions in the remark, "It strikes me they
make a pile of money in this country."
oir jonn w. jn. .aiieyne, nis wire ana two
pretty daughters, was with the party. He
expressed the views of his fellow-travelers
tersely and to the point He said: "There
are"no manufacturing industries in the
United States which are not represented in
Great Britain, but we have no gas or oil
wells. These are new to us, although we
have heard much about them, and I have
seen nothing on this trip which has interested
me so much."
Mr. Young, President of the, Forest Oil
Company, speaking of the trip, said:
"There is nrobablv no SDot in this countrv
where ourvisitors could see gas and oil wells
in so many different stages. We have
shown them one of the largest gas wells in
the country, and have also shown them oil
wells in the different stages, all within a
circuit of two or three mires."

THOUGH TEE HEART.
John Bothwell Stabbed lo Death in
an Allegheny Speak-Easy.
HE DIES WITHOUT A SINGLE WORD,
Billy Flynn, His Murderer, Promptly
Arrested in This City.
QUARREL OYER THE PRICE OP BEER.
The Prisoner is Indifferent, tad Looks Upon His Arrest
as & Joke.
Another murder was added to Allegheny
county's pages of crime last night.
John Bothwell was stabbed in a speak
easy oh Evans' alley, Allegheny, by a char
acter known as Billy Flynn, of Louisville,
and fell dead without uttering as much as a
groan.
An hour alter the crime was committed,
Flynn was arrested by Detective McTighe,
of this city, and Detective Steele, of Alle
gheny. He was detained at the Central
station until his identity was fully estab
lished, and then transterred to the
Northside station for a hearing
this morning. One of his companions,
called "Fatty" Mason, was arrested by
Roundsman Zimmerman, near tbe corner of
Federal and Robinson streets, -and also
locked up.
The stories as to the details of the crime
differ somewhat, but that Flynn did the cut
ting is known beyond a doubt He came to
this city several weeks ago, and soon found
employment with a man named Fanning; of
Cleveland, who has IS or 20 huckster wagons
scattered over both parts of the city, the
chief business at this season of the year
being the sale of bananas. Last evening,
about 7 o'clock, Flynn, Mason
and a hoy whose name could not
be learned, were in the vicinity of
Evans alley, and having a slight acquaint
ance there, they adjourned to the speak-easy
of Kate Foxand began drinking beer. After
absorbing four glasses, Flynn proposed
a settlement
DISPUTE OVEE A BEER BILL.
Mrs. Fox named the price as CO cents.
Flynn refused to pay this amount, and, ac
cording to his statement, Mrs. Fox went to
the foot of a pair of stairs and called for
help. Flynn says that Bothwell came to
the rescue, and words ensued, when the lat
ter was reinforced, and three of them at
tacked him with clubs. Seeing himself
cornered, ho says, he drew a knife and
stabbed Bothwell, after which he made his
escape.
Officer Cullen, who arrested Mrs. Fox as
she was trying to elude the Allegheny
police by driving away in a buggy, says she
told him a mnch different story. She stated
that the trouble originated over the drjnks,
as Flynn said, but denied that he was at
tacked by anyone. She says he and Both
well were the only ones who had any words,
during which Flynn dared Bothwell to
step out of the side door, saying that he
would cut his lite out, or words to that
effect Bothwell, who had been drinking,
accepted the challenge and both men
stepped out of ihe room. The next seen of
Bothwell he was found dead with three ugly
gashes under the shoulders and one in the
left br:ast directly over the heart.
After the murder Flynn and Mason left
the boy withithe wagon and started in differ
ent directions. Flynn came directly to the'
Red Lion stables, where Fanninc makes his
headquarters, and told him the story of the
cutting as credited to him above, and then
hurriedly left In the meantime Inspector
McAleese, Assistant Superintendent of
Police O'Mara, Detectives Coulson, Fitz
gerald, McTighe and and a dozen or more
officers were on the hunt for Flynn with
only a feeble clew to work npon.
SOON FELL ON THE BIGHT TEATX.
Detective McTighe, accompanied by De
tective Steele, after making a hurried tour
of tbe market, went down to Liberty street
They were passing quietly along that thor
oughfare when they noticed a big, burly
fellow leaning against a wall, with a light
slouch hat drawn well down over his eyes.
Detective McTigheJoverheard a man who
was standing beside the big fellow say:
"Now, if I were in your place, I would go
right down home." Quick as a flash he
realized that they were on the right trail.
The two strangers, evidently suspecting
that they were being shadowed, turned and
walked up to tbe corner of Sixth avenue
and Wood street, where they boarded a
Transverse cor. Detective Glenn and Chief
Murphy's clerk, Frank Aiken, who were in
the rear of McTighe and Steele, now joined
them, and tbe four officers boarded the same
car. At the corner of Fifth avenue and
Wood street Flynn and his companion,
also a huckster in Fanning's employ.
stepped from the car. They had hardly
landed when Detective M&T'ighe slapped
Flynn on the shoulder and asked bim
where he lived. He began to explain that
Pittsburg was his place of abode, but before
he had finished the detectives had the
bracelets on his wrists, and were marching
him to the Central station. He showed
fight on the way, but when fairly inside the
bastile treated the matter lightly, and re
marked that his arrest mnst be nothing
more or less than a joke. He is a man
probably 25 years of age, of powerful build,
with a' heavy sandy mustache, but no
heard. His clothing was of the cheapest
quality, and his general makeup was that
of the tough."
TAKEN TO THE NOBTHSIDE LOCKUP.
Alter Flynn was locked up Detectives
McTighe and Steele ran across Fanning,
who told them his story. About 10 o'clock
tbe Allegheny patrol wagon was summoned,
and Flynn, together with his companion
and two suspects, were taken to the Alle
gheny lockup. Flynn smiled when the
handcuffs were put on' him, and seemed to
be perfectly satisfied with the situation.
When the officers told him tbat Mason had
told the whole story, he laughed and said:
"That's all rieht I will tell my story to
the Judge in the morning. What's tbe use
of my saying anything to you fellows."
Several spots of dry blood were found on
Flynn's shirt, but tbe knife with which the
murder was committed is missing.
WHO THE MUEDEBED MAN "WAS.
Bothwell, the murdered man, was about
25 years uf age. Ho was what is commonly
called a tall, raw-boned smooth-faced fel
low, and Officer Cullen, who knew him,
says he was an industrious and hard work
ing man. He drove an ice wagon for
Councilman Wolfe, of Allegheny, and
was only an occasional drinker. He
lived at the corner of Fulton and
Sheffield streets, and leaves a wife and one
child. His body was taken to his late
home, where it will be viewed by the Coro
ner this morning.
Early in the' evening Detective Coulson
arrestad a man in theinarket who gave the
name of Mack Howard. He had ten fire-gilt
rings on his person, which he had been sell
ingas gold, and $32 50 In cash. He was tnrned
over to the Allegheny authorities as a mem
ber of the Flynn gang, and the officers say
tbat as a class they are rll bad cases.
ALMOST AN rNSTANT DEATH.
After Flynn was taken to Allegheny,
George Bottles, a resident of the neighbor
hood, stated that he heird the dispute and
ran up to the combatants. He pulled the
men apart and Flynn ran down the alley
toward Page street Bothwell followed him,
with Bottles in pursuit. In front of tbe

A LUNATIC'S CRIME.
MARY ANDERSON'S CRAZY LOVER KILLS
AN ASYLUM DOCTOR.;
Two Shots Fired From a Revolver Nearly
a Foot Long Tho 3tan Had Always
, Been Thought to be Merely a Harra-
.less Crank.
rrr&cTAL teleqbam to tub dispatch.:
New York, October 9. Dr. George W.
Lloyd, the Assistant Superintendent of the
Flatbush Insane Asylum, was murdered at
5:30 o'clock this evening by James D.
Dougherty, Mury Anderson's crazy lover,
who had been generally regarded as
a" harmless crank. Dougherty escaped
from the asylum about two 'months ago
by means of a false key. Since then he
has been frequently seen on Broadway iu
this city and occasionally at Flatbush. He
appeared there with a big revolver o'u Sep
tember 26, and by threatening the life of
Superintendent Fleming got his clothing,
which he had left behind when he escaped.
"He was seen trudging through the miry
grounds of the asylum late this afternoon.
He appeared suddenly in the office where
Dr. Lloyd, Dr. Thomas J. McGreal, the
druggist of the institution, young Dr. Ed
win W. Ashford, of Washington, and Drug
Clerk Schneider were. The crank stood in
the doorway ot the office with a big, brand
new, glistening revolver in each hand. He
asked for Dr. Fleming and was told he had
just gone out Dougherty said:' "I don't
believe it," the next moment moving
toward Dr. Lloyd, who was sitting at his
desk in the middle of the room. The doctor
said in a conciliatory tone, looking calmly
into the muzzles of the two sell-cockers:
"Dougherty, you ought to be ashamed of
yourself to want to hurt Dr.iFleming. He
has always been a good Iriend of yours."
The lunatic said nothtng. He coolly
waited up to the doctor's chair, placed the
muzzle of the larger revolver (which is
nearly a foot long) almost against the
doctor's left side and fired. The bullet
pierced the young physician's heart and
went clear through his body. He threw np
his hands, arose convulsively from his
chair and exclaimed: "Oh, Doughertyl"
The assassin sent another bullet through
the doctor's neck. He then leit and Dr.
Ford followed him and had him arrested as
he crossed the bridge to this city.
- INDIAN CONTRACT SCHOOLS.
A Warm Discussion Upon Them at the Lako
9Iohonk Conference.
Lake Mohonk, K. Y., October 9. At
the Indian conference to-day tbe subject,
"What should be the relation of the
Churches to the Federal Government
in the work of the education of tbe
Indian Races?" was discussed. Dr. Abbott
explained the partnership relation between
the Government and certain religious sects
by reason of the contract schools. The ob
ject of the discussion was to bring out the
opinions of those interested as to
the advisability ot continuing the
partnership. The talk was opened by
Dr. James M. King, ot New York, Secre
tary of the National Leagne for the Pro
tection of American Liberties, who spoke
earnestly against the granting of appropria
tions to religious denominations for public
educational work.
General Armstrong argued that there is
no better way than "to give aid to the con
tract schools. The only permanent Christian
work among the Indiaus is that of the
churches. Bishop Whipple .said the influ
ence of tbe Contract schools .has been to- up
lift the whole character of the Government
schools. To make a change just now would
be to endanger the work among the Indians.

a farmhand Douley, a fine young man, who
fell in love with. Mile. Thevenon. ,He fcund

being of a romantic nature, she. listened to
him and even pretended to receive his at

TEIED TO BECOTEB THE PICTTJBE.
She became frightened at his audacity in
thus carrying out his threat She repented
of her flirtation and went to Donley and
demanded the return of her portrait He
refused to give it back. Mile. Thevenon
then sought to soften him by entreaties, but
to no purpose, and, after trying all other
means, she declared she would take it from
him.
This made Douley furions, and he said:
"If you attempt to take that photograph
away I will kill you." Then he turned on
bis heel and left her.
But this threat did not intimidate Mile.
Thevenon and she followed him to his room
in the stable, where she knew he had the por
trait locked in a box. There a very curious
and romantic scene, occurred. Douley
turned and saw the girl standing over him
as he unlocked the box which contained the
coveted portrait Immediately he shut the
lid and turned on her with a vehemence of
passion which startled her. He swore by
all the saints he loved her devotedly and
begged to be allowed to teep the picture.
HE PBEPEERED DEATH.
Mile. Thevenon asked for its return. As
he grew more excited in his professions of
affection she grew colder and to every re
quest she said: "Give me my portrait" In
sheer desperation Donlev replied at length:
"No, I will die first."
During all this time they had gone away
from-the box in which the portrait was and
noticing this Mile. Thevenon made a dash
for it in order to get the portrait by force.
She succeeded in taking her picture ont, but
at the same moment Douley got to the box
and as she sprang away he picked np a pis
tol which was in it and exclaimed: "Give
me that pjsture or I'll kill you."
This did not intimidate her and she re
fused to return it She made a movement
towards the door and he suddenly raised
the revolver and two shots followed in
quick succession. M. Thevenon rushed to
the room and found his daughter lying by
the side of the box with a bullet in her
forehead, while only a few feet away was

scarcely probable that she will survive her

Pabis, October 9. The tribunal at St

Witnesses Testify to the Policemen's Assault
at Tipperary.
By Associated l'ressj
Dublin, October 9. The hearing on the
summons against the police for assaults
committed by them upon a number of per
sons at the Court House in Tipperary on the
occasion of the' opening ot the trial of
Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien commenced at
that place to-dav. Mr. Timothy Healy I
opened the case for Mr. Harrison, member
of the House of Commons for the middle
division of Tipperary, who was quite
severely injured by the police. Mr. Healy
declared that, on the occasion in question,
for every adult in the crowd ontside the
Court House there were four armed police
men. Mr. Harrison, he said, upon seeing
the police belaboring Mr. Sheeby, went to
tbe rescue, when four or five constables
seized him, while a blowwas dealt him from
behind which crushed his head as if it were
an eggshell.
Upon the conclusion of Mr. Healy's re
marks Mr. Harrison took the stand. He
testified that there were fewer than 0
civilians outside of the Court Honse when
he arrived, while there was a large force of
policemen on each side ot the gates. Tbe
police used great and unnecessary violence,
and, as Mr. O'Brien appeared to be in a
great hurry, witness went out into tbe road
to see if anything could be done to check
the violence of the police. Colonel Caddell,
who was in command, addressed the police,
saying something to the effect that they
must go iu out of that and not make a
disturbance. -The -command not -being
obeyed, the witness asked the policemen
why they disobeyed their officer's orders.
"Upon this a constable aimed a blow with a
baton at the witness, who stepped back and
parried it Whereupon another constable
seized him by the throat. Witness pushed
the constable's band away, and, seeing an
other policeman abont to strike some one in
tbe crowd, witness canght and held his
wrist, preventing the blow from falling. At
this juncture an officer came up. and said
tbat if tbe witness would let the man go he
(tbe officer) would take the policeman out
of the row, and prevent him creating fur
ther disorder.
Witness saw the police strike another
man, and was himselt hustled in all direc
tions, beside being struck with a baton from
behind. He finally shook off the officer.

During the disturbance be saw a constable

' Captain J. T. Jones was chosen Chairman
of the meeting, and then Candidate Dela

He apologized for hoarseness of voice, bnt
could be heard distinctly all over tbe house.
He was listened to with great interest. He
said: "I am glad to be here. I think it
wise, good politics and true Americanism
for a candidate for any office to see the
people and let tbem see him to know what
they are doing. I am here under no false
pretenses as a standard bearer of the Repub
lican paity. I do not want the vote of any
man who does not believe in my private
character." Applause. The Senator then
asked any one in the audience to ask him
qnestions, as that was what,be was here for.
inil ASKED HI3t A QUESTION.
''What about the Billingsly bill," was
chorussed out, and answered as follows: "It
has been asserted by ex-Seuator Emery tti&t
up to within 48 hours of the vote on the bill
it was doubtful where I stood. It is false.
From the introduction of the bill I opposed
it Having lived in Crawford county, I
knew many prominent producers, and
thought I knew something abont tbe oil
business, though I knew the sentiment
of many solid oil men of the coun
ty who favored it It was dis
tinctly a division of sentiment la
my district I did not believe it was 'for tbe
interest of the oil men. That may not be
your view of it The bill was not constitu
tional. I am accused by Emery of receiv
ing 05,000 to oppoie it That is a most
malicious lie."
Turning to Chairman Jones Delamater
said: "Did 1 not tell tbe producers I would
not support the bill?" Cheers and hisses
from tbe audience.
DELAMATER HAD TO STOP.
Mr. Jones arose and reprimanded the as
sembly for indulging in what he termed
ruffianism, closing by substantiating Dela
mater's assertions.
A voice from the gallery said: "Why
don't you institute a libel suit?"
"I know what the law is," replied the
speaker. "Emery has made these charges
from the evidence of other people. I
conld not make him pay any
thing because he has kept himself
within the provisions of the law, I
would have to pay the costs and have the
trouble. The Republican party has won its
battles in the past and will in the future. I
have been charged with being young. I
am proud that the Republican party is at- '
tracting and recognizing young men, who
are not looking backward bnt forward.

"WORTH 25,000,000 TO THEM.
The Pullman Company Patents Secured by
Court Decision.
tlSPICIAL TILIGBAM TO THE OISFATCK.1
Boston, October 9. The Pullman Palace
Car Company has just won a suit that is
worth fully 525,000,000 to tbe company. It
was the suit against tbe Boston and Albany
Railroad Company, but the real defendant
was the Wagner Palace Car Company.
Judge Colt, or the United States Cireuit
court, heard the evidence last June and
ordered a decree for the plaintiff this morn
ing. The suit was a bill alleging infringe
ment of letters patent granted on May 14,
1889, to George M. Pullman for a new and
useful improvement in solid vestibule con
nections between railroad cars. The subject
of the controversy is the vestibule attach
ment to trains.
The Conrt, in answer to the first ground
of the defense that tbe patent is void for
want of novelty, says: "Considering tha
amount ot thought in the country-directed
toward improvements in railway mechan
ism, whereby greater safety and comfort
may be secured to the traveling public,
it hardly seems possible that tha
Pullman vestibule system, in view of
what it has accomplished, and the imme
diate recognition ot its merits, was the re
sult of the exercise merely of mechanical
skill, and therefore not patentable under
the laws of the United States. I can dis
cover nothing In tbe prior state of the art
which anticipates tbe Pullman patent, or
which should render it void (or want of i
patentable novelty."
