DECIDED AGArNsr THE TRANspoRTA.
TON CoMrANY.-The steamer Rebecca
owned by the Wheeling, Parkersbarg and
Cincinnati Transportation Company, was
sunk in 1873, by colliding with abargt
used in building the piers for the railroad
bridge at Bellaire. The collision was
after night, and the barge had no lights on
and upon the strength Of this apparent
neglect Of duty the Transportation com,
pany sued the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
company for $4,000 damages. The case
has been in the courts for several years
and was finally carried to the Supreme
Court Of the United States, which render.
ed a verdict in favor Of the railroad
company and against the Transportation
company. The steamboat men manifest
much surprise at the decision.

RowDYtsM on A STREE CAR.-If there

is for a drunken rowdy TO stagger into a
car and rip ont vulgar and profane Ian
guage in the hearing Of the passengers,
4 beast OF this kind got into a a yester.
day afternoon, and made himself obnox.
ions to the passengers, including a mum.
Der OF ladies. The conductor told him
three times to quit swearing, but he had
too much whisky in him to mind. The
conductor should have ldhim but once,
and on his refusal to obey, he
should have been elected from the car.
II is simply outrageous that such low
characters should be allowed 10 shook
decent and respectable people by their
vile u~tterances. A law was recently
passed by the Indiana Legislature cloth
Ing the conductors OF street cars with po-
lice authority for just such cases as the
kind alluded to above. We trust that in
the future our conductors will teach these
bummers a lesson by hurling them from
the car.
