ILLEGAL RATES.
The Inter state Commerce Commits
sion's Decision.

The Inter state Commerce Commits
sion's Decision.
decision by tho interstate commerce
commission in the case of tho Pttsburg,
Cincinnati ~ st. Louis Railway company
against the Baltimore IL Ohio Railroad
company, was announced on Friday. The
opinion was written by Commissioners
Neasey.
The complaint in this case alleges that
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company
has adopted and has in operation party
rates." SO called, whereby parties of ten or
more persons, such as theatrical parties
travelling together on one ticko are trans
ported at two cents per mile, which is less
than the regular rate for "a single person,
said rate being about three cents per mile !;
and that said company also sells round trip
excursion tickets without publicly posting
the rates at which said tickets are sold. In
this case counsel appeared not only for tho
respondent, but also in behalf of the man
ayers of theatrical companies, who are said
To be specially interested in maintaining
these so-called party rates.
The commission in its decision holds
that passenger excursion rates are required
to be published according to the provisions
OF section of the act to regulate commerce:
That party rate tickets arc not commuta-
tion tickets, and when party rates are lower
than contemporaneous rates for single pas
sengers, they constitute discrimination,
and are Illegal.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad company
Is therefore required To Immediately cease
and desist from the sale of party rate
tickets aud ordered to print aud post ex-
curslon rates for the inform alton of the
public.

his health under rather peculiar circum-

pie with whom he talked. the persons he
met on the street, the partner with whom
he danced, and his physician to whom he
went in his affliction, all persistently turned
themselves away from him. until he seemed
doomed to the terrible curse of living among
his fellows and yet of never beholding
human face again. "When the thing first

"COUNT JUBOF.S
And How He Took In Leading Boss
tOninna.

tOninns.
Last June or July pale distingue young
man came to Boston and represented that
he was Count Jubof of Russia. He had
papers puTporting To be from people In
Europe vouching for his respectability and
title, and he secured the entree to the best
society.
Mrs. "Jack" Gardner took him up and
introduced him to her friends and William
ID. Howells made rnuch of him. He was a
man of brilliant parts, ready speaker and
writer proficient in literature and Euro
pean languages, and besides these taste
for the aesthetic in music and art, which
commended him to Bostonians. His Rus
sian teas were simply delightful and among
his accomplishments tea brewing was GER
tainly not the least.
Altogether the count appeared to be q
man of fine breeding and charming parts.
II now turns out that he had trouble in
Dublin over money matters, was arrested,
get q rich wife and impose on the people
generally. He failed to secure the wife,
but several people In Boston have lost
of sums from $50 to $500 by him.
The Russian consul at New York, Cen
eral Baron Rcsen, said on Friday, that he
knew nothing of the Count Jubof officially,
who might, or might not, be what he re-
presented himself. The Jubofs were an
old and distinguished family, and If the
gentleman In Boston was a member of it
he was eutitled to social recognition.
The vice consul said that If any member
of tho Jubof family came to this country
he would probably make himself known
to the Russian minister aud the consul
general at New York. Considering the
rank of the Jubofs this would be almost

Mid-winter Snake story.

Workmen engaged in building sewer
in West Goshen township, Chester county,
Pa, recently had occasion to dig away
portion of Il tank on Chester creek. and, in
doing SO, made entrance into hole about
six inches in diameter. After examining
the hole they were startled by seeing
emerge therefrom a large snake. This they
killed, whereupon another reptile and then
another came crawling out. The men came
10 the conclusion that they were at the en-
trance of a snake den, and prepared them
selves for snake killing. One of the men
dug while the other watched, aud in a few
minutes the end of the den was reached,
and with club and spade the men killed
forty more snakes ranging in length from
eight inches TO nearly three feet.
