IMPORTANT RAILROAD DECISIONS.

The Railroad Commissioners have made
two important railroad decisions recently.
The first was
The LeavenWOrth Stock Yards Case.
In the matter between Ryan Bros, of
Leavenworth, and the Union Pacific Rail
road Company, the Board gave the opinion:
The investigation discloses the fact that
on the 9th day of April, 1888, the COM
plainants shipped two cars of cattle from
State Line to Leavenworth via the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad; that upon the ar
rival of the cars at destination, complain
ants requested them unloaded in the yards
of the Union Pacific Railway instead of
the yards of the Missouri Pacific, which re-
quest was granted, and for the switchage
and yardage the former railroad company
charge compliments 500, or $3.50 per car,
which amount is claimed by them to be ex-
orbitant and excessive, and the Commits
sioners are called upon to determine.
1t is the duty of every railroad or trans,
portation company to furnish to shippers
over its line of road all necessary facilities
for the handling of all kinds of freight
without additional cost. That the Missouri
Pacific Railway Company had these IA
| cilities at Leavenworth, and that they were
afforded compliments free of charge, is
admitted.
The investigation disclosed the fact that
the Union Pacific Railroad Company had
at the request of compliments, and upon
certain representations, built much more
extensive yards than those of the Missouri
Pacific at Leavenworth, and located them
more conveniently to the complainants' pri-
vate yards and feed shed where this ship
ment was to be taken. For this reason
cOmplainants desired to have the stock IN
loaded in the yards of the last named COM
pany rather than in the yards of the Mis-
souri, Pacific Company, (Which were offered
them free of cost, thereby avoiding the
necessity of driving stock through the city
| to their own yards.
The compliments were aware of the
charge made by the Union Pacific by bills
presented and paid upon former occasions
for the use of their yards; it was therefore
| optional with them whether they used the
| yards of the Missouri Pacific without
| charge or those of the Union Pacific at a
cost of $3.50 per car for switching and
yardage.
The Board is therefore of the opinion that
under these circumstances the amount of
charge for such service is a matter to DO
! determined between the parties.

II became necessary on the 4th inst.
for DIR. Townsend, the physician in
charge Of the Patterson smallpox hospit-
al, and his five assistants, TO take oath. to
their accounts in order that the bills
might be presented to the meeting of the
aldermen. Il was thought imprudent to
allow them TO 80 down through the city
to the recorders Office, and on the other
hand Recorder Greayes did not care to
90 through the hospital to administer the
oath. ANer pondering the matter he de-
cidel to send Assistant City Physician
Hurd to the hospital with the bills as his
proxy. The doctor got the hospital ply
sician and assistants to sign the afiidavits
on the end of their bills, and then hunted
up bible.

book, DIR, IEurd went TO the telephone in
the hospital office and called up 1928"

through the telephone.
"They have" e" answered the recorder
in surprise "Why, didn't hear it, Let
them kiss it again loud enough for me 10

The kisses were repeated with an en-
ergy that sent the reports vibrating over
the wire vigorously enough TO be repro

ear-picca.
4 short time afterWard DR.. IIurd drove
up TO the station house and laid the afii-
dayits before the recorder, all properly
signed, and the recorder affixed his own
signature, certifying that they had been
"sworn and subscribed before him"
These bills went in with the other
claims against the city, and were duly re-
ferred to the finance committee TO be
audited.

sages and rapid telegraphing. and two
iron wires for "sholt circuits" The
rapidity of construction is hindered by
the amount of time required to make the
wire, which is a tedious process. The
company's factory, at An oDia, Conn,
though large, can furnish only ten miles
a day, and it is the only factory in the
country that can make it.
The Postal Telegraph Company is COM
posed of thirty or forty wealthy gentle
men, who have purchased the stock and
bonds as an investment. It's capital is
S2l 600 600 and its first mortgage bonds
Sl0000000, most of both being held in
the East, though there are few Western
gentlemen in the enterprise, among them
being Governor Charles Foster, of Ohio,
and Mr.. Mccormick, Of Chicago.
Among the principal Eastern capital
lists are John B. Alley, Il. NJ. Pulsifer, and
Ex-Collector Beard, of Boston; Oliver
Ames, of Massachusetts, and the Hazard
Brothers. of Rhode Island, but there are
many other large stockholders in Boston,
New York, Philadelphia and Washing
ton, between 100000 and 100000 worth
of stock and bonds being held in this
city.
The coi nany boasts that all its patents,
franchises, rights Of way and work done
up to date are paid for in cash, and that
it has all the money it wants and feels in
a pretty comfortable as well as sanguine
condition generally.
The officers of the company are: Alan
son W. Beard, of Boston, president; Hen
ry Cummins, of New York, vice-president;
George L. Shorcy, of Boston, second vice
president; John b. Alley, of Boston, treas
urer; Henry T.. Fanshawe, Of New York,

is composed of New York and Massachu-

A FRENCH PEERAGE.
Causes OF the Decentralization of TITLES In
France, Real and Assumed.
Tall Mall Gazette.


Tall Mail Gazette.
In the current number of the Revue
des Deux Mondes there is an extremely
interesting history fthc French peerage,
in which the vicissitudes of that institu-
ton since the Revolution are by no means
the least curious part.
In 1889 the Convention abolished all
titles and forbade all crests and livcries,
and Louis XVI. and his wife became
thenceforth Louis Capet and Femme Ca
pet respectively. The word "citoycn"
was the official appellation all through
the Consulate, and it was only in 1904 that
Josephine became Nine. Bonaparte. In
effect the word Monsieur had rcappesred
Immediately after the Terror, and titles
never fell much into allowance except dur
ing that period With the Empire Ma
poleon founded fresh aristocracy, Just as
Lord CORVALLIS in India founded an ar
istocracy Of landed proprietors, whose po-
sition is now giving so much trouble to the
authorities In this Ney became Due
d'Elchingen and other generals Dukes of
Rivoli, Danzig, Castiglione, etc, Anyone
who has read the novels of Balzac knows
well the intense rivalries of these two
aristocracies of the Faubourg st. German
and the Chaussee d'Antin and the ma
npuvres Of Napoleon to induce them 20
intermarry.
On the accession Of Louis XVIII. they
were both officially recognized. II was
not till after 1880, in Louis Phillipe's
time, that the present decentralization Of
titles began to take place. This was ex-
tremely easy, as the old parchment pedi-
grees had been made into gun wads dur
ing the revolution, and as this became
more apparent the impostors grew bolder.
Then came ls4s and titles were again
abolished, but revived by the Prince
kPresident in 1852, and the 4th of Septem-
yber, 1870, did not attempt to again abolish
them, though various proposals have been
since made to tax the bearers of titles,
assumed and real. At present, as in
England, any one may call himself any
thing, and il he can only persuade other
peoole to do the same 50 much the better
for his title.
