THE Law ON THE RA1L.-some one who
has taken the trouble to post himself on the
laws governing railroad passenger travel, says
that extra charges for failure to buy tickets
are universally sustained by the courts, but
there mus. be a full opportunity to buy offered
by the ticket seller. Passengers must show
their tickets when asked for. The courts say
passengers cannot stop off sand resume with
out the previous assent of the company" In
regard to seats, a decision says: "a passenger
who exhibits his ticket, need not surrender it
until he has been furnished with seat"
railroad is not liable for things stolen out of a
passengers seat, there being no previous deS
livery to company's servants; nor liable for
baggage in the passengers own care Pas
sengers who neglect to look after their own
baggage on arrival at their destination cannot
recover it if lost without fault of the carrier.
