sci upon the hearing of the cause. The
Supreme Court will meet on Monday,
when time will be fixed for argument.
The Court of Common Pleas at COlum-
bus, Ohio, has decided that telegraph
company has no right to erect a tele-
graph pole in front of house without
fiTst securing the owners consent or
paying him for the privilege. william
Wall applied for and obtained a tempOr-
ary injunction, restraining the company
from placing pole in front of his resi-
dence. The case came up on a motion
to make the injunction perpetual, and
Judge Evans. in stating the principles
governing the case, held that under the
constitution OF Ohio, owners OF property
abutting on the street have a right to
free and unObstructed access to, aud use
Of the street, which Is as much property
as the soil itself, and telegraph cOmpa-
MES cannot appropriate such right
without compensation or the consent

THuNpnn AND LTaHTNINa.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., May ga terrific
rain, hail and wind storm struck the
western part Of this city about o'clock
yesterday afternoon. It broke upon the
city with loud peal of thunder, accom-
panied by sharp lightning, which shat
tered large tree in the Westlake orch
ard, smashing the windows in residen-
ces along Griffith street, and knocking
an old man named Rogers senseless In
the house Of his daughter, Mrs. Jarvis
Smith, who lives in the orchard. The
storm also tore about 300 feet off the
comb OF the Valley mill and blew down
two furnace stacks of the same works.
A tree fell across 3 vehicle in funeral
procession just entering the MahOning
cemetery, severely injnring two men
and two women. The funeral cortege
had to return to the city with the
corpse on the gallop.

Another fatal accident occurred at Il

Another fatal accident occurred at the
C..Y. 81 2. tunnel near Minerva, last
Wednesday morning, resulting in the
almost instant death of Archie James, a
cOlOred labOrer, and the serious injury
of George Daugherty, the boss. James
was preparing a blast, when rock from
the roof, weighing perhaps a couple ton,
fell upon him, crushing him in such
manner that he died in a few minutes
after being taken out. Mr.. Daugherty
was badly injured, but 1t is hoped will
survive. From the statements of Mr..
Daugherty it would seem that the acci-
dent was not the result of carelessness,
the roofing having been constantly and
carefully inspected and gave no sign Of
danger. Mr.. Daugherty, the boss, is
man of experience in the business, this
being his 28th tunnel, without an acci-
dent. He had lately been put in charge
of the force at this tunnel. The work
men too have nearly all had experience,
having been employed on the celebrated
HoOsack tunnel. This we believe to be
the third fatal accident at this place

AN ENOKMoUs TRAFFIC..

bridge Sunday.

oyer 100000 People Crossed the ROebIIng
Bridge Sunday.
NEW YORK, May 28.-Che crowd CROSS
ing the new ROebling bridge yesterday
was The largest that has crossed since
the opening. The police were obliged
to stop the crowd from entering at two
O'Clock for half an hour, and again at 5.
Many estimates have been made Of the
total number of persons that crossed the
bridge yesterday, but they vary eOnsid-
erably. 1t is however, safe to say that
$4,000 took advantage of the new thor
Onghfare, and walked across the East
river, many of them for the first time in
their lives. The thrOng was so great
that the driVeWays we're used by foot
passengers, the fOOtpath being crowded
to its fullest capacity. The gatekeepers
say that 20 out of every hundred passed
over without paying, as they were una
BILE to keep back or receive fare fast
enough. Should this great rush con-
tinue it Is probable the space beneath
the promenade, now used for telegraph
wires, will be converted into fOOtpath.
At present the bridge is certainly too
small. When the cars are ready and in
working order it will relieve the foot
path of the crowd that now fills it com
pletely from one end to the other, and
renders it almost impossible for pedes-
trians to make any headway. The ferry
boats yesterday were also we'll crowded
as many who crossed the bridge returned
by ferry to avoid the rush on the bridge.

GOV. PArr1soN's LAST VETO.

Gov. PattisOn sent very sensible veto
message to the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture yesterday. For some years that
body has passed bill granting pensions
to Pennsylvanians who served as sold
iers in the Mexican war, but the bill
has never reached the statute book, and
will not reach it during the term of the
present Governor. The message very
we'll says the war with Mexico, however
brilliant and successful, was an affair,
not of the state of Pennsylvania, but of
the United States. If pensions are to
be given to the survivors of it, they
should be paid by the Federal Govern
ment. But if the state had profitted by
the war in an exceptional way, such as
would warrant special recognition of
military service in its behalf, the We
tOed bill is curiously indiscriminate and
reckless in it's bounty. Rich survivors
as well as poor, the able bodied as well
as the feeble and sick, are to get the
same gratuity. Widows who have made
Opulent remarriages may draw their
pensions as regularly as the relict who
has worn her weeds with scrupulOus
fidelity. Although this measure is an
unusually loose one of its kind, Cover
nor PattisOn has done something more
than local service in directing atten-
tiOn to the subject of pension legisla-
tion, not only state but Federal.-N.

House; IL he voted no." 1t did not pass.

whether the Republican Legislature
and the Republican party propose to
continue and endorse such business.
