WASHINGTON, Feb 2.-The Court of Claims
at Washington 10 day decided the long pend
ing cases of the Union Pacific Railroad Com
papy versus the United States. Chief Justice
Richardson delivered the opinion of the court.
The following is the synopsis Of the points de-
cided:
The amount allowed by the Treasury Depart
ment for carrying the mails, being the same rates
allowed by law to all other railroad companies, is
fair and reasonable compensation and not in excess
of that paid by private parties for the same kind OF
serVicess
2-The United States are bound to pay for trans-
portation of their passengers, troops, ETC., from
Council Bluffs to Omaha over the bridge and be-
tween Council Bluffs and Ogden, the Same rates as
are paid by private parties these rates being fair
and reasonable; and the United States are not en-
titled to the reduction accorded to passengers who
purchase through tickets bstwesn New York and
San Francisco and other distant places unless their
passengers purchase their tickets in like manner.
3-The company is reqnirsd to pay into the
treasury of the United States each year per cent
of its net earnings under the act OF 1867 and
under the Thurman act, since It's passage IN addi-
tion thereto, much of $3.50 200 as with the said
per cent and the whole compensation for govern
ment transportation, will equal 20 per ceut of its
net earnings.
4-In determining wh at the net earnings are, the
expenses, bona fde. paid out of the earnings and
not charged to construction capital to be de-
Quoted from the gross earnings, although they are

"The exposition is gaining every day, writes
Hon. j. B. Ham, Maine commissioner at the
New Orleans Exposition, under date of Jan.
26th. By the time the Maine folks get along
it will be a fine show. There are plenty Of
good rooms and good fare for visitors SO far,
and at reasonable rates. So far very few
Maine people, or at least few now living in
Maine, have been here, but natives of Maine
now living in other States are calling on us
every day, and seem we'll pleased that our
State has an abiding place here in the exposi-
tion. Our exhibit is now fairly arranged. and
we shall be pleased to see any and all Maine
visitors" Commissioner Ham says that the
New Orleans winter is bad. "If the past six
weeks" he writes in the same letter from
which the above quotation is, "can be regard
ed as fair sample of winter weather in the
sunny South, then Maine people can thank the
Lord for Maine weather and take courage
amid their hosannas. 1 think it has rained
fully half the time, and has been cloudy and
damp one half of the remainder. People liv-
ing here say that it has been one of the worst
of winters. The ground has frozen four nights
since September 1st. The grass is green upon
the parks, and the lawn mower has been do
ing business for some time past Today the
sun is shining the first time for week, and
we may now hope for more sunshine and more
visitors"

Poison a Common Death.
Laudnnum and MOrphia the Most Fatal
and Common of Poisens.
[Chamber's Journal.1

chambers Journal.l
In the year 1881 there were $50 deaths re-
corded in England alone from poisoning
while the year 1882 shows record consider
ably in excess of this, viz, 500. or one in ev-
cry 1888 of the total deaths registered. Glane-
ing over the various 'poisons, we find that
the well-known preparations of opium, lau-
danum and morphia-opium itself being in
cluded-head the list, having caused s5
deaths.
This might have been expected from pre-
parations SO largely used in domestic reme-
dies; but the rs deaths from lead poisoning
which follow do surprise us, in view of the
fact that the conditions which produce as
we'll as the conditions which mitigate or
counteract the effects OF this subtitle poi ison
are now so we'll known. Lead is followed
by the four stronger NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., nj
trio, sulphuric and carbolic-which among
them have caused 81 deaths under the same
category. Arsenic, again, caused 9; phos-
phorus, IL; chlorodyne, 9; chloral, IA; chlo-
roform, 4; soothing syrup, 4, with host Of
casualties from substances of minor impor-
tance.
Reading between the lines of the Registrar
Generals report, which is not difficult to do
with the help of the medical journals, we
will find that there are two prolific causes OF
these accldents-first, the giving or taking
of overdoses of certain remedies containing
poison, and, second, the substitution of one
bottle or substance for another, as, for ex-
ample, where number of substances are
congregated together, as in the case OF the
domestic cupboard. In the first class NAV
be instanced the giving of overdoses of opi-
ates or soothing preparations to children /:
the taking OF overdoses of narcotics or sooth-
ing compounds, such as chloral, by hsbitual
drinkers, and the general familiarity which
the handling or using of these powerful
agents frequently bsgets in those habitually
| using them. In the second class NAV be in
stanced such mistakes as the substituting of
one bottle containing, say. poisonous ilni-
ment for mixture intended for internal ad e.
minstration; the hasty and foolish practice
OF quating off draught from any jug, bot
tie, or dish without examining the contents,
and, lastly mistakes caused from accumulate
ing within easy reach powerful medicines in
he hope that they may come of future use.

MassocI,usetts Fisheries.

Boston, Feb. 2.-The 10Th annual report of
the commissioners of land fisheries has been
presented to the Legislature. There were 252,-
600 shad hatched and turned into the river at
North Andover. A small increase in the shad
fishery may be expected in 1885, and still
larger increase in 1866. The average cost for
Matching is about 38 cents thousand. There
has been distributed during the year 10000
young carp, and 125,000 trout spawn; 600
Lake Superior salmon trout spawn, 100000
Penobscot salmon spawn. The ten and one
half inch law in regard to Holsters, if rigidly
enforced, is believed to be step in the right
direction. Two hundred and five fisheries
have reported, the reports growing less in
number each year, showing that the State is
either losing In fishermen or a neglect On their
part to send in returns. There is an increase
in the catch Of sea herring, founders and fat
fish, cells, striped bass and bluefish, but in gem
eral the catch is falling off as compared with
the two preceding years. A large decrease in
mackerel and menhaden is noticed. The total
oatch of leased ponds computed was about
100000 fish. The expenses of the commission
were 81 ,204,

1t was bit of luck that saved the Manchesters
from being whtewashed at the Bijou last night. AS
far as playing abilities went the Bijsus were far
ahead Of them and handled them easily. 1t was
fine game but was rather too short to suit many.
1t wouldn't be bad idea to give the audience one
or two exhibition goals when the games last no
longer than that one did. The Manchesters were
dressed in suits nearly like the Bilious ana it was
hard to distinguish between the.two when after the
ball. They were about the same weight as the
Bijous and they made several plays that showed
they were not unused to the business. The ball
came to Norway but once and then it went into the
goal. But it was an unexpected shot and no won.

been engaged in the British cavalry service
and she had acted as a trained nurse in
hospitals in London and Paris and said that
she had diplomas from them.
She was thoroughly accomplished woman,
and her manners and speech betokened a
thoroughbred Englishwoman of keen mind
and bright perceptions. She was an intensely
patriotic little lady, and sarcastic and cutting
at times when speaking of those who seemed
to be making war on her people. She was ex-
