lost. Whistles were blown, bells rung, and
the people turned out and walked fifteen

the others have not yet been discovered.

OzoSE.-The curious substance known
as ozone, the nature Of which was so long
mystery, and about which so many con-
ficting hypothesis have been devised, is
now, says the Lancet, becoming well known
to us. Ozone is a denser form of oxygen.
Its specific gravity is "a. that of common
oxygen being l6, and that of hydrogen l.
1t is highly probable that its molecules
contain three similar oxygen atoms. In
the concentrated state it is q powerful
irritant poison, and it is very unstable,
decomposing with explosion, and with ey
olution Of heat, and exerting powerful
action on oxidizable materials. For some
time past it has been known that it lique-
fies under the influence of combined cold
apld pressure The liquor is indigo-blue,
and its vapor in tolerably concentrated
state has color which can only be COM
pared to that of an Italian sky. 1t Is a
very dangerous substance to work with.

RAILROAD TAX CASES.
Arguments Made by Wilson, Edmunds
Evarts and Raymond.


Copyright, 1885, by the atforniG dssociated Press
WASHINGTON, January 12th.-At the con-
clusion of Mr.. Wilson's argument before
the Supreme Court to-day, representing the
State of California in the railroad tax case.
Senator Edmunds, of counsel for the COM
pany, addressed the Court. The defend
ants contended that the action of the local
authorities in levying taxes on railroads in
the manner which it did was equivalent to
the State taxing Government agency and
levying tax upon an interstate commerce
organization. The Pacific railroads, he
contended, were Government institutions,
and its agency, because elected by the Uni
ted States to transport its mails and NUM-
tiOns of war, and were interstate, rather
than local corporations, because of the
operation of lines of railway from Ogden
through Utah, Nevada and California, and
the law of California relative to taxation
did not contemplate such classification of
property as had been made. The action of tn Q
Board of Equalization, he contended, was
discriminating against the property of
corporation and within the inhibition of
the Fourteenth Amendment of the Consti-
tuition of the United States.
Senator Evarts followed Senator Ed
munds, and spoke an hour and a half,
celebrating the principles Edmunds had
laid down.
Greed Haym ond spoke for half an hour
before the Court adjourned. He answered
Wilson's proI osition, in his opening for
the State, that the State had right to dis
criminate against corporations within its
bounds, because the corporations had re-
ceived benefits and privileges denied in
dividuals. Raymond contended that the
contrary of this proposition was true Any
person in California could exercise all the
rights exercised by the Central Pacific that
was derived from the State. The right of
eminent domain was not exercised in favor
of corporations but for any person in
charge of a public use. Any individual
might own and operate q line of railroad
in the State, and no corporation can pre-
vent it.
Tomorrow the Court will divide the
four hours between Raymond, represent
ing the company, and Attorney General
johnson, representing the State
