WEEKLY BUDGET.

THE EASTERN STATES. The validity of the law of Pennsylvania prohibiting the manufacture and sale of any of the forms of imitation butter or cheese has been sustained by the United States Supreme Court. It is held to be entirely within the police powers of the State to protect public health, and to determine whether or not the sale of oleomargarine may be altogether suppressed. Recorder Smyth, of New York, has denied the application to submit the case against Gould and Sage, charged with the larceny of Kansas Pacific bonds, to a new Grand Jury. The Recorder reviews the history of the case, and concludes by saying: Upon a state of facts such as have been presented upon this application I would be doing a very great injustice, it seems to me, were I to direct the same case, upon the same evidence, and without even a suggestion of either ignorance or misconception on the part of the grand jury who acted upon it, to be submitted to another bodv of grand jurors for the purpose of reviewing the action of tbeir predecessors. The practice of reviewing a complaint before a subsequent grand jury after a previous grand jury has fully examined into the case is not to be commended.

The Novelty Aerial Shin Company, with a capital of $1,000,000, has been organized at Jersey City, the object of the concern being to manufacture and operate ships to travel through the air. > John A. Logan, who was arrested for shooting a riotous Italian at Newcastle, Pa., has been released from custody. The magistrate held that as Mr. Logan acted under the sheriff’s orders ho could not be held for the shooting. The Italian was not badly hurt All of the producers in the Pennsylvania have decided to close down their works. Burglars effected an entrance into the the First National Bank at St Johnsville, N. ¥., and plundered the vault of SIO,OOO in cash and some jewelry left there for safekeeping. They escaped with their booty.
