There has been considerable difficulty Of late
between tho various roads In this city and Par

from the fact that rules ia regard to transfers

takca occdrred which Mr. Partnclco could not
possibly obylate. Several meetings IN regard to
this matter have lately been held and arranee-

LAY-OvEn TICKETS.

Tho question OF tile legality Of the lM-
itatton OF lay-over nckcta was recently
decided In the Illinois Supreme Court.
A passenger, having bought d ticket at
Chonoa, Mclean County, ILL.,, to Chicago, over
the Chicago & Alton Railroad, wlships to atop
ut Joliet for q time, procured from the conduct
or n lay-over ticket, which was stnted on It's
faco to ha invalid utter thirty days. Having r.
presented il in lieu Of faro, md, 1etusng pay
mcnt, was elected from the traln' SUIT haslns
been brought, the passenger claimed broadly
that a railroad company has no Eignt
p prescribe when and .,t, h9w the 10utSiy'1 ani'1
q ticket. The Court decided that thc contract
cutcred into by tho Company In selling ticket
Is entire In its character, and gives thc ho!Set
tho right to mako tho Journey rs whole; tnat
fortnance Of IL contract the pnssenger has
right to iuslst that Il shali continue unt!l eoll,

has the right also to Insist that II ellall con.

no right to lay-oycr ticket, and any one that
