RAILWAY TICKETS
They Can be Sold at wholesale at
Reduced Rates.

WAsnlNGToN, May 16,-A Judgment OF
great interest in its construction ofwhat,
under the interstate commerce act, con-
stitutcs discrimination was rendered by
the United States supreme court today
in the case commonly known as the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad theatrical rate
case, involving rights of a railroad com
pany to sell at a reduced rate to parties
OF ten or more persons. The court in
the opinion by Justice Brown, sustained
the decision of Judge Jackson, refusing
to issue an injunction to restrain the
railroad company from continuing the
sale of party rate tickets.
The general ground OF the opinion is
that it is not unjust discrimination for a
railroad company to sell tickets at
wholesale cheaper than at retail.

THE NEGRO PRAYED FOR HIMl
striking Scene at IA wreck In
Ohio.

CLEvEs, o.. May 16.-Inthc midst of a
terrific storm of wind and rain two Big
Four trains crashed into each other near
this city yesterday morning with
the result that five persons were killed
and several injured.
One Of the never to be forgotten
scenes was the death OF brakeman Glib
bcns. lie fingered till after noon,
conscious all the time. He had a young
wife, that he had kissed good bye an
hour before. All his grief and all his
talk was about that wife. In the
agonics of death till his tongue
was stilled he spoke only of her. Again
and again he begged some one to pray.
At last, in response to his pleadings,
an old colorcd minister stepped timidly
to his bedside. The dying man asked
the sable man of God to go on. Then
and there as the fervid petition arose
from the trembling lips of that colored
divine there was a scene OF solemnlty
that none present will soon forget and
none ever experienced before. His words
seemed to deeply move all the listeners
as if they were inspercd, and silent tears
wet every eye.
