Important Railrona nec,s,ou

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The Inter-
state Commerce Commission, by Com.
missioner Morrison, rendered it's decision
to-day in the case of the Northwestern
Iowa Grain and Stock Shippers' Associa-
ton vs.. the Chicago and Northwestern
Railroad Company. 1t states that q rail
road company making different rates for
the same distances on different branches
OF its road must justify them by showing
that there is difference in the cost of
carrying on tho different branches. The
company, by long maintaining rate
without the presence of competition on
other than equal terms, makes or gives
evidence that such rate is not too low.
The company which has two routes be-
tween points cannot lawfully charge
more for the shorter than for tho longer
distance either. A road can carry freight
from points on its main line cheaper than
another road can carry over branch
road with separate equipment to and over
its main line, and where one of such
branch lines must carry in competition
with another road from its main line sta
tions, the rate on that branch establishes
no criterion for branches not SO situated.
The Company gave special rates to corn
shippers in Nebraska to a point in Illi-
nois, by means of which corn reached
the seaboard at low through rates. When
the Company denied, as it did, such
special advantages to corn shippers in
Iowa, it gave unlawful preference to the
Nebraska shippers.

His death is a great loss to the bench and

His death is a great loss to the bench and
the country.
Mr.. Hoar: "There was some difference
of opinion as to the expediency of Justice
Matthew'S appointment when he went
upon the bench. This was due to fear
that his judicial opinions might be biased
in favor OF the great railroad interests
which he had so largely represented as
counsel. | never myself shared this fear
for a moment. Judge Matthews has
taken his place IN the highest rank of
magistrates who have sat upon the bench
of the Supreme Court of the United
States from the beginning of the govern
ment. 1t has never occurred to any
body since his appointment to question
his absolute impartiality. Every intelli-
gent man will now agree that he was in
his rightful and appropriate place in that
tribunal to whose arbitration all the in
terests of the country are submitted, and
which keeps the forces of State and
Nation alike within their appointed
bonnds."
A large number of messages of con-
dolence were received during the after
noon. Among them was the following:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, March II, 1891
DEAR Mrs. MATTHEws-I have heard
with most profound regret of the death
of your most honored husband. The
sense of loss and bereavement which you
feel will be shared by our people. Ihave
known Justice Matthews for many years,
and had very high appreciation of his
character and learning. That you may
be comforted and sustained in this hour
OF trial is my most sincere prayer. Very
truly yours, BENZ. HARRISON.
Arrangements for the funeral were
practically concluded this evening Re.
ligious services will be held at his late
residence on Connecticut avenue, Mon
day afternoon at O'Clock. They will be
brief and simple, and will be conducted
by Rev. DIR. Hamlin, pastor of the
Church of the Covenant. At the conclu-
sion, the remains will be removed to the
Baltimore ond Ohio station for transpor-
tation to Glendale, Ohio, by way Of Gin
cinnati. Religious services will be held
there at Christ's Episcopal Church un-
der the conduct of Rev. DIR. Price, Rec
tor, on Tuesday afternoon, and the re-
mains will then be removed to Spring
Grove Cemetery for interment. The
members of the Supreme Court will ac'
company the remains as honorary pail
bearers, and the messengers of the court
will be the active pail bearers.
New YORK, March 22.-On hearing
of the death OF Justice Matthews, Mayor
Grant ordered the National, State and
municipal flags to be hoisted at half
most over thr City Hail out of respect to
the memory of the distinguished jurist
COLUMBUS, March 22,-The most pro
found regret is apparent in this city owe
the death of Justice Matthews. Boil

A GERMAN newspaper published in
Chicago, Der Wester, has a dispatch
which reads as follows:
BERLIN, March 13.-The Governor OF
the Province of West Prussia, in view of
the lack of farm laborers, recommends
the introduction of Chinese.
Why is this startling fact thus de-
veloped? Is it because immigration
from Germany has been so large as to
practically depopulate the Fatherland, +,
so far as labor goes, or is it because Of
the modern tendency in all countries to
flock into the cities, thus leaving the
country comparatively depopulated 1?
This last is very important matter.
The quiet life OF the country, whose
charms. poets have sung and philoso-
piers moralized on, is greatly despised
by the average mechanic, and even
manual laborer of the day. All long for
the excitement of city life; and many
would rather be half fed, but amused in
the city, rather be prosperous, but lead a
dull life in the country. The sign is not
a good one for our times.

The Law ON minor Enlistment. :.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The Ad-
ant-General of the Army he's pub
lished for the information of the army
the recent decision by the United States
Court in Michigan touching the status of
minors who enlist and afterward desert
from the army. In the case at issue
soldier enlisted when minor, although
pretending he was of age, and afterwards
deserted. He was arrested and court
martialed. While the proceedings
of the court were awaiting review
the father of the minor sued out writ of
habeas corpus. The United States Court
declined to issue the writ, holding that a
minor soldier of the army in confinement
under charge OF desertion, could not be
discharged from military service by the
Court until he had been released from
such confinement. 1t was also held tina.
minors contract of enlistment is not
void, but voidable. If he is over 16
years of age, he can be discharged only
upon application of his parents or
guardians.

Mr.. HARRISON finds himself within
three weeks of his induction into
Office confronted by an excellent oppor-
tunity to show how he stands on the i'm
portant question of the rela tions OF the
people to monopolies. Mr.. Harrison
stands before the people-that is before
the really intelligent portion of the
American people-very strongly sus-
pected of being the admiring friend of
the causes that are heavily backed by
bank accounts. The way in which the
money-bags of the country "blew in"
their shekels in behalf of his election,
and the magnificent way in which the
leaders in this movement lave been re-
warded politically, are facts that do not
dissipate the impression that the Presi-
dent is not a man whose sympathies
really bleed for the enon-moneyed portion
of the people. And now comes Mr..
Harrison's grand opportunity to confirm
or do away with the feeling as to his
attitude. The wires yesterday brought
US the information that Justice Stanley
Matthews, of the Supreme Court of the
United States, has passed away. Death
has been active in the ranks of this body
during the past few years. Justice Wood
died during Cleveland's administration,
and was replaced by Lamar; then Chief
Justice Waite passed away, and his place
went to Fuller. Now the third break is
made in the ranks by the death of
Matthews. This member of the highest
court in the land was a monopolist of
monopolists. He was always known as
being on the side of the largest bank ac-
count. His place is to be filed. He
represents the section of country lying
between Cincinnati and Chicago, the
central point of which is Indianapolis.
This is the home of Gresham, who now
occupies seat in a Federal Court at
Chicago. The first thought in the minds
of most people as to the. filling

ROBBERS HUNTED DOWN.
Vengeful Vigilantes go After
the Gang.
THE BAND IS BROUGHT TO BAY.
A Terrible Fight Must Follow Before
the Doomed DesperadOes can
be Captured.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
UNIoNTowN, Pa, March PA large
party of vigilantes from Uniontown,
York and other points have gone into
the mountains near Marklinsburg, whe re-
the McClellantown robbers are supposed
to be camped, with the intention of cap
turing the outl avs. Both sides are we'll
armed, and if there is conflict there will
probably be much bloodshed. Should
an assault fail to surprise the inmates Of
the camp, the vigilantes propose to sur
round it and starve out the gang, shoot
ing any one who makes his appearance
with arms. The camp is thirty miles
distant.
LArER.-This evening word was re-
ceived here that the VIgilantes had tried
to force an entrance into log house in
which the robbers are at bay, during
which shots were exchanged on both sides
without injury to any one. The robbers
refused to surrender, and are prepared
to sell their lives as dearly as possible,
and to die if they cannot escape under
cover of the darkness. Nine men and
three women constitute the party in the
house. The attacking party has the
house we'll surrounded. The intelligence
thai the band was corralled, spread like
wild fire here, and soon Sheriff Miller
had started for the scene of the difficulty
with large posse raised here. The
vicinity of the robbery is ablaze with
excitement, men hurrying there from
all parts of the mountains, and with q
good leader they expect to finally land
the band in Jail.

UP-COUNTRY REALTY.
Prices at High as in the angel
City.

Prices at High as in the angel
City.
Mr.. M. P. Snyder, a we'll informed
real estate agent of this city, has re-
Gently paid visit to San Francisco and
other places on the Bay. During his
visit he took pains to look carefully into
the situation of affairs where he travelled.
He was around San Jose, and as a result
of his observations, he reports that real
estate in the Garden City is quite as
high in price as any similarly situated
property in the Angel City. He finds
further that not only city property is held
as high there as here grade for grade, but
that suburban property at San Jose is
held at quite as high figures as it is held
in the vicinity of Los Angeles. Then he
goes further, and states that he finds
fruit lands of the various grades in Santa
Clara county valued as high as among
the most eclectic bits in Los Angeles
county. In fact all grades of property,
down to the commonest farming lands,
are quite as highly appreciated
there as here. Mr.. Snyder's ex-
perience is only the same as that
of all Angelefios who in the past few
years have paid visit to the country
around the Bay of San Francisco. Yet
the new-commer 10 this section often
leaves here and goes there to find cheap
lands.
Now in the face of all these facts it is
well to remember, that on the lands of
Los Angeles county the orange, the Eng
llsh walnut, the lemon and the lime
flourish as if they were the original nab.
itat OF these most profitable of
crops. 1t is also we'll to recall
the fact that Strawberries ripen here in
January and December, that peas and
tomatoes under the skies of the semi.
tropics are perennial crops, maturing at
all seasons of the year.
Mr.. Snyder is emphatic in his opinion
that this is still the best place in the
State to be, a view in which all who
thoroughly understand the matter will
fully coincide.

A MOVEMENT is on foot to establish here
an annual fair, at which the products,
resources and manufactures of this sec
ton shall be placed on exhibition. The
idea is a copy of the Mechanics Fair OF
San Francisco, to which something SINH
lar is found in all large cities, the CEN
ters of important sections in all parts Of
the Union. The movement is in the
right direction, and should not be allowed
to halt for moment until really grand
result shall have been accomplished
From such an annual exhibit
much good is sure to spring. Here
will be the best opportunity
for all who have wealth in any form to
let the fact be known to the general pub
lie. Many of us know only as a matter Of
hearsay anything of the rich resources OF
this section. Its fruit products, its more
common vegetable crops, the minerals OF
various sorts, the oil measures of the
section, the manufactures being turned
out here and the art treasures, whether
of home production or brought from
abroad, will make very magnificent
display. 1t will do us all good to see
them in the concrete and in compact
shape visible to the eyes of the flesh,
and thereby to the eye of the mind. The
committee in whose hands this matter is
placed is composed of excellent men.
Their names may be found in the HERALD
to-day. They will commend themselves
to all readers of this journal. They are
progressive men, of experience and oi
ideas. They should succeed to per.
feet degree in their efforts to give us an
annual fair for the purposes
set forth. And the fair ought
to be on no six-by-nine scale. II
ought to be put up in the most magnifi.
cent form; it ought to take in all the
en- terprises, resources and interests oI
the section and all the attractiveness oi
art should be called in to relieve the
hardness of material things, to appeal to
the imagination as we'll as to the thrifty
sentiment of the people.

Fatal Flames.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March pa fire
broke out this afternoon in the Standard
Baggage Factory, on Stoddard avenue,
near Twelfth. The whole concern was a
group of old buildings with very little
fire protection. Owing to the ipham-
mable nature Of the building and con-
tents, the flames spread rapidly, and the
widest panic ensued amongst the 200
employees, the most of whom we're girls.
The few men employed in the building
worked bravely, and succeeded in lead
ing the panic-stricken girls through the
smoke aud flames to place where they
could drop out to low adjoining buildings,
and all were saved with the exception of
Ada Labrecht, who was found terribly
burned. Charles Gufrsn remained on
the third floor too long, and found all
means of escape cut off save by the
window. He took this as his only
chance, jumped and was terribly in
jured by the fall, but will not die.
A man whose name could not be
learned was run over by the fire engine
and badly hurt. The pecunisry loss by
the fire is small.

DEMOCRATS of recognized position,
taking their stand with all good citizens
of all party affiliations, applaud to the
echo the attitude assumed by the Den O.
cratic office-holders who, bending to the
will OF the supreme people and mindful
in patriotic way of the best interests of
the city, show disposition to step out
of their offices with so ready alacrity,
and to allow their rightful successors to
take peaceable possession of their seats.
The gentlemen who thus show so great a
measure of good sense stand in the best
light before the eyes of their fellow
citizens. The party put it to the touch
to win or lose it all. In many
cases the incumbents of the Of
ficas went before the Convention of
their party, and in many cases these were
honored with denomination. Thus, the
two parties went squarely before the
sovereign people for verdict as to what
men should hold Office. After putting
the matter thus to the arbitrament Of
the ballot box, it is mere child's play to
appeal from the decision of the people.
Those who manfully accepted their
defeat and gracefully yielded to the will
of the people, prove themselves well
qualified at a future time to hold office,
while those who kick against the pricks
of the popular judgment, get nothing but
wounds to themselves. The will Of the
people should stand unquestioned.
