The New York Court of Appeals had previously ruled differently.

A New York Times correspondent notes Gov. Allen’s health may force retirement from the gubernatorial race.

The Pittsburgh Commercial adds iron shipbuilding shifts from Clyde to Delaware, with John Roach launching 28 iron steamers totaling 63,500 tons and costs around $46 million in gold-equivalent value, including vessels for American and Pacific mail lines.
