Recent Railroad Decisions

The Springfield Republican, condenses
from recent huge volume of railway de-
cisions some OF those most inter. stiug to
passengers. Extra charges for failure to
buy tickets are universally sustained by
the courts, but there must be full opportu-
nifty to buy afforded by the ticket seller.
Coupon tickets cannot be torn off by the
passenger and presented to the conductor,
with refusal TO show the main ticket !;
the passenger for such evasion may be
elected. Passengers must show tickets
when asked for. As to stopping off"
there is only one decision, that of New
Jersey, which is that passenger cannot
stop off" and resume his journey with
out the previous .ns assent Ssaso IF thshc Maine,
whichis the only state regulating the mat
ter by law, makes by statute all tickets
good for six years. The Massachusetts
decision is that the ticket has no validity
after the expiration of the time specified
AS to the obligation of the road to furnish
u seat to passenger, Missouri decision
says "a passenger who exhibits his
ticket need not surrender it until he has
been Furnished with seat" A railroad is
not liable for things stolen out of passen-
gers seat, there being no previous delivery
to the companYs servants tor the
same reason the company is not liable for
baggage in the passengers own care. Bag
gage includes reasonable amount of per-
sonal jewelry, and in Illinois one revolver,
but not two revolvers. The kit of instru.
ments of an army surgeon, travelling with
troops, is baggage ; 80 is the kit of har-
ness maker, according to New York de
cision. Passengers who neglect to lOok
after their baggage on arrival at their des
tination cannot recover, if it is lost without
fault of the carrier. Baggage left in sta
ton houses for the passengers convenience
after it has reached It's destination, comes
under new class of rights and duties, thu
baggage master assuming the position of /
"gratuitous bailee," who only becomes liza
BILE in case of gross negligence. The obi
cation of the railroad as carrier ceases
when it has delivered the baggage to it
owner at the place of destination, or wheI
he has had reasonable opportunity OF re
ceivipg and removing 1t. Many states holt
that the price of the ticket covers the trans
portation of reasonable amount of bag
gage. 1t will interest sportsmen 10 know
that they may recover for the value o
dogs when they entrust them 10 baggage
masters for hire because of their exclusion
from the passenger cars.

DEATH OVER A GAME OF CARDS.
Boy Accidentally Shot by Companion
While Gambling.

On Sunday evening while some boat
men were sitting in their boats 10 Newton
Creek, New Jersey, they were startled by
the report of a pistol, followed Immediate
ly by the cry, 80, I'm shot" Following
the.dlrectlon of the sound, they came upon
group Of boys, one of whom was endeav-
oring TO bandage wound of one of his
companions. The boys stated that the
wounded boy, whose name was Peter Kane,
resident of Hunters Point, with a COM
panion named Patrick McGrath, had been
playing cards during the greater part of the
day, and had also drank great deal of
lager. Kane had just Won some money
from McGrath at the time OF the accident,
and as he was in tie act of taking in hia
winnings McGrath raised pistol whrh
had been lying at his side, aud in An:.
manner pointed it at Kane, NJ the unc
time saying, "Touch one pr' ny and you
die" Immediately Ia. pistol VIA III.
charged, the ball lDielcing young Kanc'-
heart, killing him instantly. Another story
is to the effect that while McGrath was *
aiming the pistol it went off, the ball
striking Kane. It is believed that the
shooting was accidental. Kane was Is
years of age and McGrath II. McGrath
hos boon arrested.

SOUTHERN LIEUTENANT GOVERNORS

The assumption of southern lieutenant
governors is something remarkable. We
had the North Carolina case, where the re.
publican governor, proposing to attend hi
Bunker Hill centennial, was kept at home
because one Of the Judges of the supreme
court, intending to resign, had arranged it
with the democratic lieutenant governor
that the resignation should be rendered and
accepted Turing the gu.ernor's absence,
while the lieutenant SD 'uld assume fnll ex-
ecu,ive powers and FL the vacancy at once.
Now we have an exhibition In South Caro-
Ina, with II complication to 1t. Governor
Chamberlain attended the centennial and,
during bis absence, the lieutenant governor
granted certain murderers under sentence
of death reprieve until May 90. Before
that day, further application was made
to the governor, but he declined 10 iuter-
tertere and ordered the execution to pro-
coed. When the 2Sth arrived, the sheriff
refused to hang the men, saying that he
had been legally advised that the lieuten-
ant governor had no right or authority to
grant reprieves or order stays. The day
passed, and it was supposed that the lieu
tenant governors officious interneddling
had defeated the ends of justice and turned
two murderers loose again to prey on the
community-it being claimed that the pow
er of the courts and OF the executive to fix
day of execution had been lost In order
to test the matter, special session of the
court was held and the judge decided that
the proceedings Of the lieutenant governor
had been 'cruel and tantalizing" to the
condemned and "derogatory to the sane
" tons of the law" and, then, resen,enced
them to be executed on Friday of the pres
ent week. The judge said that he had
been informed that the prisoners "had re-
qS d q t 5aas'Ts s}h AGsYar
they are better prepared to meet their doom
than the lieutenant governor is TO answer
for the consequences Of his folly and his
"cruel and tsntalizing" course to condemn
ed prisoners. If these are to be taken as
specimens of southern lieutenant governors
there is yet vast room for improvement in
this line, and 1t makes but little difference
from which party they may be selected.

vested, must be built up. Shops, offices,
ETC.. were removed to st. Adams, and that
town began to take on new life at the ex-
pense of Mortified which sank into more
than It's former insignifcance. Pecuniary
distress and business ruin followed the re-
moval, but what mattered it so long as the
landed proprietors Of st. Adams could sell
their real estate at a profit The stock
holders were injured because the expense
of transportion enhanced the costs of re-
pairs the travelling public was incommo-
ded, but what cared the managers so long
as st. Adams hotels we're filled, st. Adams
business thrived, and st. Adams continued
to grow and increase ?
Self supplants the public good. Rail-
roads created for the general veal con-
tribute only to private greed. Stockholders
are sacrificed for the benefit of the mana
gers. Legislatures are sought to be con-
trolled, the aid of the courts is invoked,
political conventions are manipulated, all
to one end-and that end, that this or that
set of men may obtain the management,
first for their own pecuniary advantage
and, second, for the building up or sustain
ing particular locality. If perchance the
stockholders and the travelling public share
in the benefit, 1t is because their interests
are identical with those of the managers
and cannot be disrega,ded without also
entailing loss on them What the remedy
is we do not now propose to inquire. 1t is
enough that the evils exist, that they are
becoming every day more and more intol-

mics correct the matter on their own mo-

BUILDING UP TOWNS.

We published, yesterday, report of an
interview with Senator Jones of Nevada,
which originally appeared in the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, and we assume that the
senator was correctly reported, because his
motive in joining In the purchase of the
Panama railroad, as there stated, sccords
with experience and reads like other chap
tiers in the history Of railroad management
in this country. He first purchased some
forty thousand acres of land at the Santa
Monica hsrbor, apparently without any
idea of going into the railroad business,
but being determined to make his real estate
speculation pay, for 1t was nothing but a
speculation, he looked around for some
thing that should contribute to its success
by bringing this land into market. This
could only be attained by making this will
derness the Pacific terminal point of the
Pacific mail steamship company He
could accomplish this, or thought he could,
either by purchasing controlling interest
in the steamship line or in the Panama
railroad. He chose the latter, because It
was good investment, while the former
was burdened with debt and without any
immediate prospect of paying dividends,
especially with the railroad under hostile
management. The road must always be q
good investment, while the steamship line
was more or less dependent on the road.
That he set about improving the affairs
OF the company was not for the public
benefit, but for his own interest, because
he and his "syndicate" owned some six
sevenths of the road. 1t was already pay
ing annual dividends of twelve per cent,
and that has been largely increased, and,
fortunately, that increase has been brought
about without detriment to the public in.
terest. The whole purchase aud manage.
ment, SO far as the senator is concerned,
Lad but one object, and that was to make
speculation in forty thousand acres OF
land successful.
Some of our Vermont railroads have
heen managed In the same way-managed
to be sure, without benefit to the stock
holders, because the interests of the stock
holders and managers were not identical
and that Of the former had to give way tt
that of the latter. But the building up o.
particular locality, in which the man
ayers had large pecuniary interests, ha
been the object aimed at. For this tn
public good has been disregarded, the con
venencc Of travellers lost sight of, and tn,
interests of the stockholders sacrificed.

The union between the Baltimore and
Ohio and the Pennsylvania railroads is
bearing its natural fruits. A conference
was held, Saturday, the rates of freight
were advanced to take..effect to-day, and a
still further advance agreed upon. Rail
roads, naturally rival and competing lines,
become the most oppressive of monopolies
when they combine to serve themselves at
the expense of the public, yet the people
of Michigan, when they had the opportu-
nifty, refused to so amend their constitution
US to prohibit such combinations. When
the public content themselves with growl-
