WASHINGTON, April l3.-A naval officer
states as within his own knowledge TINT
the Russian government has offered John
Roach 100000 more for the Dolphin

Wilmington. Thursday Aptll,ll6lSS5


The United States Supreme Court yes
terday rendered decision of consider
able interest TO transportation lines. The
matter at issue was the tax case of the
Gloucester Ferry Company, being writ
of error'from n suit begun originally in
the Philadelphia courts for the purpose
of recovering from the ferry company, a
New Jersey corporation, the amount of
certain taxes levied upon its capital stock
by virtue of an act of the Pennsylvania
Legislature. The Philadelphia court held
TINT the taxes could not be lawfully
levied, because the ferry company
carried ON no business in Pennsylvania
except the landing and receiving of pas
sengers and freight which is part of the
commerce of the country and is protected
by the constitution from the imposition
of burdens by state legislation. Tn
supreme court of Pennsylvania re
versed this Judgment and the su
preme court of the Unite
States now reyerses the Judgment of tn
supreme court of the state. The Unite
States Supreme Court, in long an
elaborate opinion by Mr.. Justice Fields
holds:
That receiving and landing passenger
and freight is incident to their transports
ton, without which there could be no sue
thing as their transportation across I'll
river Delaware. The transportation as
passengers is not completed until they al
disembarked at the pier of the city to whiC
they are carried, and as to freight until 1t
landed upon such pier. All restraints

LONDON, April 13.-.ATho Mark Lame
Erpress, iii its weekly review of the British
grain trade, says; "A slight rain fall hns

imminence of war between England and
Russia has caused native wheat to advance

been very small. The sales of English
wheat during the past week were AZ, SO9
quarters, at 33s. 3D., against AZ, 40 quar-
tiers Mt 3Ts. ID. during the corresponding
week last year. 1t is believed that from
three-fourths TO four-tifths of the
English wheat crop of 1884 Inns

millers hold but little stock. These
conditions, together with the small re.
serves of foreign wheat and the fact that
half of the 5000, 900 quarters of foreign
brendstuiis on passage are from two Il
four months OFF, would warrant the BELIZE
that the position is sufficiently elastic tt

BUFFALO, N. Y, April i3.-John
Waugh, ex-mayor of Niagara Falls, Ont,

walked ON the railway suspension bridge
from that place yesterday afternoon,
climbed over the railway and hung from
one of the iron girlers underneath the
bridge by both hands 100 feet above
the rocks near the waters edge. Some
friends saw him climb over and ran out
on the bridge expecting to see his body
dashed to pieces on the rugged rocks
below, but the unfortunate man repented
his rash act and held on for dear life To
the iron girders, calling fol-
assistance. Soon three young
men ran to his aid md bracinp
themselves with their legs, md leaning
over the side of the bridge to the danger
