DECISION AGAINSTTHE B, & P. r. r.
The Finh baptist Church Wins Its
mi


A decision was rendered by the United
States Supreme Court yesterday in the case
of the Baltimore & Potomac Railroad Coni-
pany, plaintiff in error, against the Fifth
Baptist Church, in error to the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia. This
was a suit for damages brought by the
trustees of the church against the railroad
company on account of alleged injury to
the property of the former, caused by the
erection and maintenance of un engine
house and machine-shop on land ad-
joining the church cdifice. The main
feature of the defense set up by the rail-
road company is that it was authorized by
an act of Congress to bring its track within
the limits Of the city of Washington, and
to construct such works as were necessary
and cXpedlent for the completion and
maintenance of its road. This Court holds
that such authority from Congress would
not justify the railroad company in invad-
ing others property to an extent which
would amount to an entire deprivation
of its use and enjoyment without COM
pensation to the owner. Nor could
such authority be invoked to justify
interference with the use and en-
joyment of others property, where
different places from those occupied could
be used by the railroad company for its
purposes without such detriment or annoy
ance. The acts that n Legislature may au-
thorize, which without such authorization
would constitute nuisances, are those which
affect public highways orpublic streams, or
matters in which the public have an inter-
est, and over which the public have control.
The legislative authorization exempts only
from liability to suits civil or criminal at
the instance of the State. 1t does not
affect any claim of n private citizen for
damages for any special inconvenience and
discomfort not experienced by the public
at large. The grant of powers and privi-
leges TO do certain things does not carry
with it any immunity for private injuries
which may result in the exercise of these
powers and privileges. The judgment of
the District Supreme Court in favor of the
church must therefore be affirmed. Opinion
by Justice Field. The decision will be con-
trolling in number of other pending suits
involving the same questions.

were raised about the price, the pros

concluded to the apparent satisfaction
OF all parties, and a check then and
there paid over for the price of the
plano.
Unfortunately, as the plano Is not

necessary to trust to Mr.. Blythe s Il ood

that afternoon.

Anyway the row which 1t raised in
the neighborhood of our b~elligerent

protested, and Mr.. Blythe, o~uriously
enough, left IN a visit to Toronto,
which was perhaps wise, seeing that
had the protest been allowed to expire,
he would have run a very good chance
of being arrested

have been sufficiently grateful for.
However, the case itself appears to
have been In the wars. Mr.. Fl. told
me at one time that 1t looked as
though 1t had recently been unpacked.
On my second visit he said 1t looked
like an old and battle Scared instru-
merft, which had been vanished up to
pass for new. Anyhow, 1t is q poor
piano-poorer ever than the first
and presents q second interesting
problem as to its origin, which ! will
leave you to solve for yourself upon
the facts.
Mr.. H., however, 1 regret to say,
did not appreciate the beauty of the
problem thus offered for his solution.
He had been cold a second time-in
all probability the piano was even
worse of In this respect than he-and
to say that he raised Cain over his dis.
appointment is to put the matter
mildly.
You don't want me to tell you of
how he hauled Petersen, manager of
the Mes,rs. A. d S. Nordheimer, over
the Goals, of the op~probious epithets
he applied to Blythe, or of his regrets,
expressed to me, that he had not split
the latter gentleman's nose. Suffice
1t that after a Homeric contest had
been waged for upwards of a month,
he finally, In October, 1882, drew up
a notarisl agreement binding The
Nordheimers to deliver to him within
thirty days a brand new Steinvay
piano fresh from the New York fac.
tory, and with all the advantages of
Mr.. Petersen's personal selection.
This agreement the Toronto house &C.
knowledged and undertook to carry
out within the time specified,
Now open your ears, tor l am COM
ing to the interesting part. From the
consequences of their action 30 far it
lie possible that q few good straight
''truths" might save Blythe and his
house, or at all events might save the
house at the expense of the agent,
and you know Hno man aver got out
of a big scrape except by q big truth"
But the scrape into which they have
got by their next action is one out of
which the biggest ''truth" which the
two Nordheimers, assisted by Blythe
and Petersen with all his practice In
that Department., and the entire
strength Of the company can forge,
will not suffice to extract them.
Shortly before the expiration of the
thirty days Mr.. Fl. was informed that
his piano was ready for delivery, He
asked for the number, mindful of his
previous experiences, and 1t was hand
ed to him. He then, In his innocence,
supposed that there could be no OBJ
lection to his being furnished with q
copy of the customs entry, but he was
Informed, a little to his surprise, that
this waE not only extremely irregular,
but that the piano had been entered
in Toronto, this being the natural
method of transportation from New
York TO Montreal,
Now l take leave here to respect
fully suggest to Mr.. Petersen that the
next time he wants TO fool q customer
on a customs entry he should not place
such an exceedingly easy remedy In
his hands. Mr., Il. had the number
Of the piano, and all that was neces-
sary TO do was to communicate with
the custom house in Toronto and in
quire whether piano number 80 aud so
came from New York and when.
Unfortunately the custom house
official in Toronto was under the ne

not know, nor can l., without having
seen it, express any opinion as to
what the piano really was;
an old New Yorker doctored
up and with a number dating
back quarter of century
judiciously removed or a brand new
and superior instrument-albeit in
voiced at one-third price--from the
Steinway's factory or agency or what
ever it may be, across the water. Any.
how a satisfactory instrument 1t was
not, and Mr.. 81. insisted on this In q
a series of interviews, stormy and 9th.
erwise, with Mr.. Blythe, who, for his
part, insisted on a~ttributing the dis.
satisfaction of his customers to q
within of Mrs. H.'s an expression
which nearly cost him black eye, on
n occasion.
Mr.. ID. also about this time met Mr.,
Nordheimer In town and appealed to
him to put the matter right. Mr..
Nordheimer was all sympathy. The
whole thing was the fault of q new
varnish which the Steinwsys were
using on their pianos, and which
would not stand our cllmate-at which
you will smile, though I hardly think
the Steinways will; and as to that
number, oh, there must be some mis-
take about that. Anyway" 80 con.
tinued the obliging old gentleman,
'"send the piano down to the store
and l will get 1t fixed for you"
Meanwhile, however, the time had
run on, and the summer war at hand.
30 it was decided when the HIS de-
parted for the seaside, the plano should
be properly done up and be ready for
them on their return.
So In June this was done, and our
numberless and spotty piano is sent
In disgrace to the store to have that
Steinway varnish scraped of.
Now, it may not be smiss here, In
passing, to note in connection with
this vsrnish question, that the great
difficulty with which European makers
who import pianos into this country
experience, arises from the fact that
their instruments are almost exclu-
sively finished with French polish,
which, in fact, does not and will not
stand'our climate, but suffers precise.
ly In the way In which this plano ia
reported to have suffered. Here
again, perhaps, Mr.. Tretbar will tell
you how many French polished
pianos he turns out In New York, and
perhaps again intelligent readers will

and on her return Mrs. FL. called at
