According to a New York Judge It Is Unwarrantable In-, vasion of Rights.

'Anderson, Inrl., Auet. 4. With li!g
familj-, (ieorse Lewis, one of the fortmost and wealthiest men of Markle-
Tllle, is preparing to move to this city.
lie has bought a home in .South Meri
dian street and will move into it soon. The leaving of Miirkleville by the Lewis family is regretted, for the Lewises
have for more than thirty years been active in the affairs of Markleville and vicinity, (ieorge Lewis built and operated ono of tb first grain elevators. He also erected a business block
and owned other proierty in the town.
31arkleville Given a Surprise.
Xear to it he obtained fine farming
land and ns he rounded toward tho evening of his life none in Markleville thought, until recently, that Georire
Lewis would not pass his remaining
days there. When he told his friends he intended to leave his old home town and demonstrated that he was in earn
est by buying a home in this city.
there was great surprise in Markleville.
Two Explanations Are Made.
Lewis explains that he is movins to
Anderson to enjoy the advantages of
a larger place,. His friends at Markle
ville and elsewhere throughout the
southern part .of Madison county think
Lewis has become tired of being dis
turbed by unidentified persons who re-
roccntly committed depredations at
Emporia and Markleville. including the
shooting of Walter Ellison, an Emporia
merchant. Iwice Lewis has received
through his rural mail box anonymous
letters that threatened his life and
property unless he caused a merchant to vacate his business building in Markleville.
Grand Jury Did Nothing.
Lewis reported the matter to the of
ficers, but no arrests resulted. During tho investigation Lewis' building in
Markleville burned and the origin of tho fire was not determined. Nathan
Veach, a merchant, lost his stock of
goods in the fire. Lewis awaited the investigation of the anonymous letters
and the fire, but the grand jury recently returned no indictments after investigating the Emporia shooting, ns
well as the auonymous letters to Lewis. So Lewis si goincr to movp

New York, Aug. 4. The state law of New York restricting labor by women and children in a factory to ten hours a day and sixty hours a week was declared by Justice Olmsted, in a decision handed down in the court of special sessions, to be "an unwarranted invasion of constitutional rights." The ruling declared that the law was class- legislation. Justice Olmsted said in his decision: "To labor and employ labor are inherent and inalienable rights of our citizens, and cannot be taken away in whole or in part unless upon the- broad ground of public good, which must be apparent and cannot be predicated upon legislative dictum. One Plea of Justification. "It may be stated as a well settled legal proposition that the right to labor and contract for that labor is both a liberty and a property right; when, therefore, the legislature enacts a statute such as that under consideration it must be admitted that it has infringed in the enactment the rights which are very clearly accorded by the constitution to the individual citi
zen. The people, therefore, are called upon to justify this invasion, and there is but one plea in .-Justification thnr
the statute was- enacted to protect the comfort, welfaie and safety of the whole people, and the individual must suffer this curtailment of his granted rights in the interest of the common good. Rights of Citizens Restricted.
"In the case under consideration the right of the employed and the right of the employer are equally involved. Nothing to the contrary appearing it must be assumed that the woman was a willing worker for a willing employer, and that the result was mutually satisfactory and profitable. No argument is needed to show that both the employer and the employed have been restricted in their rights by the law in question. The present constitution of the state of New York was adopted in 1S94, and became effective Jan. 1, 1S95. All of the rights which adult women possessed at that time were confirmed by that document. One of those rights certainly was the right to contract for her labor and to work when and where she pleased without reference to the position of the hands upon the dial of the clock. Argument of General Welfare "It was not until four years after that the law-making power sought to place the limitation under consideration upon them. What was the legislative intent in doing this? The attorney general finds and urges and urges no other reason than that the general welfare of the state demands i
that the progeny of women of the fac
tories shall have mothers with healthy bodies to the end that the state may
nave sturdy citizens. Dees the state
look merely to the children of the fae tory women for its future good citizens? Judge Says There Are Others.

houses, in offices, or she who toils not

Union Funds To Be Immune for Illegal Acts-Opponents Bolt. London. Aug. 4. The trades dis
putes bill, which is a direct outcome
of the Taff Vale decision that trades union funds are liable for the illegal acts of individual members of a union, passed the committee stage in the house of common this morning, and was reported to the house amid ministerial cheering. Considerable excitement marked the debate, during which seeral amendments opposed by the government were defeated by narrow majorities, in one case the government being saved from defeat by a few Unionist votes. There was a somewhat extraordinary scene after midnight, following Prime Minister Campbell-Bannerman-s refusal to accept Lord Robert Cecil's motion to report progress. Lord Robert saying that the prime minister had pledged himself that the debate should nof continue after 11 o'clock. When the motion was defeated by a government majority of 212 Balfour accused th
