StOp.Over Tickets.

The question of the legality of the
limitation of lay.0ver tickets was re.
Gently decided in the Supreme Court.
A passenger, having bought a ticket at
Chenoa to Chicago, over the Chicago &
Alton railroad, wishing to stop at
Joliet for time, procured from the
conductor a lay-over ticket, which was
stated on it's face to be invalid after
thirty days. Having remained more
than thirty days, the passenger pre-
sented it in lieu of fare. and, refusing
payment, was elected from the train.
Suit having been brought, the passen.
ger claimed broadly that a railroad
company has no right to prescribe
when and how the journey shall be
made for which it has sold ticket.
The court decided that the contract
entered into by the company in selling
ticket is entire in its character, and
gives the holder the right to make the
journey as whole; that when the
company has entered upon the per.
Torrance of its contract the passenger
has right to insist that it shall con.
tinue until completed and that, on
the other hand, the company has the
right also to insist that it shall con.
tinue until completed. The passenger
has no right to u lay over ticket, and
any one that the company may give
him makes new contract, executablg
according to the terms expressed in it.

Travelled Far Enough.

A good story is told of a tramp who,
some months ago, hailed from the
North, and ahead of him came the re-.
port of his unmitigated cheek in his
manner of cumming along the road.
On arriving at a station he would call
up every l0ungcr and fellow-passenger
and order the drinks or cigars for all
hands. After the usual ceremony of
misunderstanding, ETC., he would wink
at the barkeeper and say. "That's on
me-" The astonished cocktail diluter
would naturally inquire, "Who in
thunder are you!'' The hummer would
lay one hand on his revolver and make
the rather heavy statement, MY name
is Poker Bill. l have travelled all the
way from Omaha on this" That was
the news the stage-drivers impaired at
\ place not a great way from Indie.
pendence, and a few days later along
came the irresistible individual from
Omaha. The proprietor Of the station
had been forewarned, but he set up
the refreshments, and the same per-
f0rmance above described was enacted
until "Poker Bill' started to tell how
he had travelled all the way from Oma.
ha, when he suddenly found himself
looking down the muzzle of 4 huge
Colts pistol in the hands of the lar
keeper, who quietly informed the
hummer that he had travelled far
enough. ''Poker Bill' did not demur,
but paid his bill like a little man, re-
marking something about tho people
being so particular about TRIES.

An Odd Legal Question.

One of the oldest of legal questions
has just been decided in England. 1t
was whether one man can hold a
meeting. The circumstances were
these: A meeting was duly called of
the shareholders in a certain business
company. On the day and hour set
one shareholder only attended. He
voted himself into the chair, and
passed several resolutions, including
one levying an assessment of 4s. Cd.
on each share, and, after vote of
thanks to the chairman. he adorned.
The assessment was contested, and an
action was brought against the pune.
tual shareholder for the amount.
The Judge concured in the opinion
that. as there was no provision in the
bylaws respecting quorum. the res
olutions were valid. The case was
carried up on appeal, and the decision
OF the lower court has been reversed
on the ground that one man cannot
''meet." The Court required the
counsel for the defense to admit that
there would ha vebeen no meeting if
nobody had attended. The Pail Mall
Gazette remarks that it is impossible
for one man to form a ''quorum. AT
best, he could not form more tn an a
.tcuius.0
