THE CITY NOT RE >PONsIBLE.

The Corporation Counsei yesterday transmitted
TO the Controller an important opinion. Inc case
which called il out is as follows In 1879, AT 'he
termination of a partition suit III the supreme
Court the moneys of certain infants interested III
the partitioned property were directed to he ana
were paid to George w. Lane, then Chamberlain OF
the City of New-York. The amounts were invested
in bonds and mortgages upon real estate IN the CITY,
Upon the coming OF age OF the infants oi tb III
depreciation in real estate heavy assessments ana
taxes which had been imposed upon the property
the security was inadequate default occurred upon
the mortgage mortgages which were forecloscd by
the Chamberlain; the property was bought IN ny
him 10 the account OF the persons whose moneys dad
been invested. and so the matter stood untli tnc
passage of an act by the Legislature directing the
city take the property and make good to the IN
fants the money deposited with the Chamberialn Ill
1874 with the interest litigation has been gong
on or some years in behalf of the infants 10 charge
the chamberlains George w. Lane and j. Nelson
Tappan with responsibility for tins loss. ! nc
Courts have held II he case having gone
to the Court of Appeals that the Investment
of the moneys properly made by the Chamber
lains that the security was ample and adequate at
the time the investment made, and that thc III
adequacy of the property to answer Tor the i0ah at
the present time had arisen from the general dcpre
ments which had fallen upon the properly az III
share of the public burdens imposed upon similar
property i'll the city. Failing OF their remedies
against the respective ChambcrlainS, the parties
bringing the action appealed to the Legislature, and
the Legislature by statute directed the city to take
the property and make good the loss
The Corporation Counsel holds that the city has
no right to make good this loss. Ii has been indl
cially determined that there has been no fault on
the part of the Chambcrlans or any wrong pelpc-
trated on the infants They have merely suffered
misfortune by reason OF the decline in the values of
real estate in this city. TO tax the community TO
pay this loss would he contrary to recent amend
ment TO the Constitution, which provides thlt 10
county city town or village shall hereafter give any
money or property; or loan its money or credit
to or in aid OF any iH ThS dnini as,
concludes as follows: 81 an informed that since
the passage of the act the securities have again be-
come valuable and the loss in this particular case
will probably be very small if the purpose of the act
is defeated, and the infants have the right to take
their interest in the property. There Is, hoWeVSl
principle is one that should not, in my Judgment he
submitted to without Il contest

CARRYING PASSENGERS BY STATIONS.

Passengers on the Second Avenue Elevated Rall-
road complain that the trains often pass stations at
which they wish to alight wi hOut stopping. pas
fengcr said yesterday that ne hau Deen carried Nv
the stations between Forty-secOnd and Eghtysixth-
SIS on Thursday, and that apparently there was no
cause for IT, unless the engineer was unable To con-
froI the brakes. General Manager Hahn was seen;
and he said Yes, we do pass stations now ana
then but il is for the good OF the public, as our
trains are 80 full that cannot take on any more
naSscngers and consequently there is use OF stop
nping at all stations. We use the vacuum brake
which is governed by the engineer and cannot be
friticd wi by any person, as was Gone on te New
York Central Railroad at Spuyten DuyVl at thc
time of the late accident. II Is not the iauit Oh tle
brakes at all, there is nothing detective Oh orr
roads 1t is that study the interest OF tle pup
lie and when our trains are full We can carry no
more" He said. however that he did not think
that the conductors wOnld pass more thth one SID
tion without stOppng. There wasnO rule 10 govern
This matter He did not believe that any passenger
had hcen carried by the stations between Iorty-sec
and and Eighty Xth-StS.

il has been said that New England

sixth part OF the Senate? Should we
lose Senators. We shall lose an equal

AN OLD CASE.


It will be remembered by resi-
denters that some years ago, during
the reign Of the handsome and
curly-haired 0. A. Patton, register
Of the United States land Office in
this city, that there was consider
able difficulty regarding the cutting
of timber from the mountains, espe-
cially in Big Cottonwood, where
General D. IT. Wells had large in
tereSts. The handsome and ring
letted Oliver A. was especially vim
dictlve In his attacks on General
Wells, and seized a large amount Of
lumber belonging to that gentle
man, under what was popu-
larly known as the stumpage act.
General Wells began suit for
the recovery of the property seiZsd,
during which a compromise in
writing was effected, and by the
payment of a certain amount of
money Oliver a. agreed to release
the lumber seized, and this
was done. The suit, continued,
General Wells giving necessary
bonds in the matter But. after
having entered into this con-
tract Oliver A. Patton, the gentle
man with the talented ringlets,
again seized the lumber and him
self sold it to ore John Nickles.
General Wells, of course, refused to
surrender the lumber, and Nickles
brought an action in replevin in the
Third District Court for the recov-
cry of the sawed lumber. The case
was heard by jury, and the court
gave the following instructions to
the jury at the request of the
plaintiff.
To make a case emitting plaintiff to re-
cover, 1t Is only necessary for the plain
tin to chow. by preponderance of testi-
moRy, that the logs in question, and the
logs f.om which the lumber in question
was made, were cut on government
lands, seized by the tim Der agents, and
sold to the plaintiff, and that the defend
ants detained the logs and timber from
the plaintiff.
The jury of course, under the in
structions, found for the plaintiff,
and the Judgment, on appeal to the
supreme Court OF the Territory was
sustained. The case was then taken
to the Supreme Court of the
United States, and only recently
a decision was delivered.
The opinion of the court was de-
livered by Supreme Justice Miller,
who, in conclusion, remarks: "We
are of opinion that the instruction
to the jury, which we have given in
full, and the whole theory on which
the effect of the stipulation of COM
promise was decided is erroneous,
and the judgment of both the Su-
preme and District Courts is re-
versed, with directions to set aside
the verdict and to grant new trial;
and it is SO ordered"
This is victory for Gen. Wells,
and under the decision the next de-
cisiOn will be favorable to him.

The Storm

The storm which commenced
about o'clock on Thursday morn
ing has been one of the heaviest as
we'll as one of the most general ex-
perlenced here in a long lime. The
barometer sank very low on We'd
nesday evening, Indicating the
proximity of serious general
storm. After it fell it remained
down below change so steadily that
1t was thought we had reached the
of the storm only about
noon on Thursday. Signal Sergeant
Craig states that it will go east and
finally pass out through the st.
Lawrence Valley into the sea. as do
nine out Of ten of the general
storms which originate west of
here. Only in general storms does
the barometer go down very low
aid remain down any length of
time. Local rains are indicated
by temporary and
slight change in the barometer. The
storm will do vast amount of
good, tn ugh it came at a very in
oportune time, for some reasons,
