The Railroad Wins.

known As the Adams and McConnell't
vs.. St. Louis and San Francisco Rail
road, to recover damages for excessive
freight charges under the State Law
prescribing maximum rates, was decid
ed in the U. s. Circuit G ,urt to-day.
The defense was that the St. Louis and
San FraDcisso Railroad is exempt from
State legislation as regards rates charged
for freight and fare, because it holds an
original franchise by the State to the
southwest branches of the railroad,
which gave said road the right to pre-.
scribe its own rates, and because il
holds the franchise of the Atlantic and
Pacific Railroad Co., created by the
national government. Judge GeiRer
took this view Of the case and decided
for the railroad company. The suit is
specially important because this case
decides large number of other suits.
