IMPORTANT RAILROAD DEcrsIoN.-Jndge
Sharswood, OF the Supreme Court OF Pennsyl-
vania, has rendered a decision TO the effect that
the platform Of railroad company, at Its sta
ton or stopping place, is in no sense a public
highway, and that there is no dedication 70
public use. Persons are allowed to walk over
IT Tor other purposes than as passengers arriv-
ing and departing in the trains, but they nave
no legal right to do 90; and the servants Of the
company, after requesting them TO leave, can
remove them by whatever force may be neces-
sary.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company had
constructed a large platform at Johnstown,
Cambria county, over the bed Of the Pennsyl-
yania Canal, which is out OF use. On the ex-
cursion trip Of President johnson IN IS66, the
train, which was exclusive for his party,
stopped at the station. A very large crowd of
persons, among whom was the plaintiff GilIis
gathered on the platform 10 see and hear Mr.
johnson and his party; the platform hroke
down, the crowd was precipitated into chasm
below, and the plaintiff was injured. 1t was
held that as his presence there was in no way
connected with the purpose for which the plat
form was built, he had no legal right TO be
there, and the company was not responsible TO
hlm for the injury. As TO the friends of pas.
sengers being there to meet them or see them
depart, and all such persons to whom the com.
pany stood IN relation which required care.
the company were bound to have the structure
strong enough TO bear all who could stand on

The PKNvsYLvANIA Coal MIsERs.-The
miners OF the Schuylklll and Lehieh coal re-
gions are complaining that they have received
no assistance in their strike from the operatives
OF the Wyoming district. The Mnkesbarre
newspapers state that along the Susquehanna
the coal workers have gone 10 work, and the
strike rs ended for the present, and that N the
men who are At Scranton can stop the work
there. the contes may be renewed At Scran-
ton the miners OF the Lackawanna region were
solicited TO cooperate with those Of the Schuyl-
XIII region IN advocating the eight-hour move
ment, at a meeting called for thIs purpose
Resolutions Were passed and committees ap-
pointed TO urge the adoption Of the eight hour
system. As, however, these miners work oy
contract. and not by the day, they decided 70
take part IN the eight hour movement by Ask
ing an advance Of twenty per cent on the pres
eni prices Tor mining coal. THIS, az Is calcu-
lated, Is equivalent to ten hours pay for
eight hours work. Another accou Mt states that
the miners have not struck m the Wyominr re-
gion, nor have wages been advanced They
are Al w0k At old rates and for ten hours. Ia
the Schuylkill region, the Shamokiu HerNld
states that nearly all the colleries on the hne
OF the Reading road and branches are still idle.

THE SAN FRANCISCO MINT ROBBED OF
sl2.UtO-ATrest Of the Culprit.-Sone five or six
months since another defalcation or swindle
was discovered in the Sub.Treasury Depart.
ment at the Mint in this city. II was found
that the Government had lost some $4,000 by
an ingenious system Of fraud. An outside
broker would buy slow bars" that Is to say
bars OF low grade gold, say six hundred or
seven hundred fine, and deposit them in the
Mint for coinage. The computing clerk in the
Sub.Treasurer's Office would then make his
returns on the bars at higher grade, say eight
hundred and upward, and by collusion with
other parties, as is supposed, certificates Of
assay representing considerable sum more
than the actual amount deposited would be
issued to the broker, and by him sold To do
this quite a complicated system OF alterations
and false entries was required but the cause OF
the deficit was well covered up for long time.
The broker and Mr.. Sill, the computing clerk,
were indicted, and the latter, leaving his bonds
men in the lurch, lef: for the East. Marshal
Rand followed him East, but the fugitive
doubled on him and returned here some two
weeks since. Yesterday it was ascertained that
he was concealed in this city, and Deputy
Marshal Worth. Captain Lees, and Detective
Fuller found him at the Vernon House and
arrested him. The trial will probably now
take place ely.-AltdC California, July17
