AID
ONE PRICE

We feel that the day has
come when it should no longer
be necessary for a house to
have at the head Of its adver-
tisement tho words "one price,"
as we cannot conceive how any
house can charge one customer
enc price and another customer
higher price, and resonoilS
themselves that they are doing
business based upon the law of
equity, because in many eases
the person who pays the highest
price is less able to do so. Oar
reason for mentioning the above
fact is that Wilmington is
rapidly growing at this time and
strangers coming inte our city
are naturally desirous of know
ing where to go to buy their Car
pets and Dry goods at the low
est market rates and should be
as equally anxious to avoid de
eeption of any kind.
We have ef late had ousto-
ners To say TO US that a certain
House had offered them Tapes
try Brussels Carpets which they
were selling for S IS at $l.00
because they wanted a number
of yards. We will here try and
show the inconsistency of such
statements. In the first place
there is no one price House that
asks over 5 20 for any Tapes
try Carpet and that is "Rox-
bury" and they cost over $l.00
at the agents, again another
house has been asking $l.l0 for
Extra super lngrains, but when
told that we were selling the
same for $l.00 las they have
frequently BEEN they would re-
ply by saying that ours were
not as good, but prove to their
customers that We were being
misrepresented by oonsenting
to take $l.oo before they would
let them 60 out

Legal Railway Decisions.

An interesting decision was made 10y
the Supreme Court of Georgia in favor
of the Georgia railroad This was suit
for $4,000, brought by Owens under
these circumstances He was the holder
Of through ticket, bought in Balt-
more, from that place To Atlanta. He
boarded the train in Augusta. Conduc-
tor james Il. Johnson took up his ticket,
and gave him a stop-over ticket, allow
ing him to stop over at one point.
Owens protested in writing, claiming
that he had the right to stop as often as
he chose. He boarded the train next
day at Barnett. Conductor Walsh then
took up his "stop-over ticket. This
left him without any ticket. He board
ed the train next day at Union Point,
when Conductor j. b. Johnson told him
he must pay his fare or get off. He re-
fused to do either, whereupon johnson
put him off. This suit was then brought
for $40, 900 damages. The jury found
verdict for the railroad.
The Supreme Court of Kansas, in the
case of ANNALS killed by railroad trains,
held: A railroad company is not guilty
of negligence in failing to protect the
swine IN township where they are per-
United to run at large, and it appears
from an agreed statement of facts that
hog was killed by the negligence of the
railroad company in such township, and
it further appears that the negligence of
the owner i'll permitting the animals to
run mt large, In violation of the statute
laws, contributed directly to the injury
the negligence of the defendant was
offset by the negligence of the plaintiff,
and the owner of the animals could not
recover for the loss.
The Supreme Court of Georgia de-
cides that, in suit against railroad
for loss of goods shipped over its line, it
was competent for the defendant to
prove by the agents of connectingroad
delivery in good order to it; and. al
though the witness may never have seen
the goods, they may testify from the
books Of their company, proved to have
been made ia the usual order of business
and to be accurate. Also that, when n
writing is shown to be lost or beyond
the jurisdiction Of the court, secondary
evidence of its contents is admissible.

ing that more work can be done on the high
ways for one-third the expense, IL IL can behad
in money.
FIRST VETO.
Gov. Jerome sent his first veto message to
either house on Friday when he vetoed con-
current resolution to appropriate an unexpend-
ed balance OF 80, 926.S6 TO the purchase OF two
fountains for the Capitol grounds. He based
his veto on the ground that the supply Of wa
ter was insufficient, owing to lack OF city
water works.
REGIsrERED SURVEYORS
A dill has passed the Senate. but Will hardly
fare AZ we'll in the House, 10 provide for the
appointment by the Governor of u Board OF
three Commissioners of Surveys, who shall be
State officers have Nh Office at Lansing, and be-
fore whom all surveyors who wish to practice their
profession must appear each year and submit
to n rigid examination and receive a registered
certificate or license.
APPROPRIATION BILLS
are coming in lively and are apparently meet
ing with less opposition this year than usual.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The Governor and Legislature, for tho State,
were :. busted on Tuesday last In othor words,
the State was presented 10y nearly 100 Of Michi-
gan's most prominent men and firms with 81 600
bust in marble, OF Hon. James v. Campbell of
Detroit, who is the Oldest in term of service OF
the Supreme Court Judges OF our State, having
been first elected III 1855 for eight years, and
since reelected three times. OF course the gift
was accepted by the Legislature with thanks.
Senator Lewis DuEkee, OF the Fifteenth
eaton and Barry district, was taken on We'd
nesday afternoon last with bleeding, and dur
ing the day and evening he had other attacks
still worse, so that it was thought he could not
survive the night, but strange to say he rallied
and bids fair To recover, at least temporarily.
Michigan readers need not be told that il has
been showing almost constantly in some por-
