The supreme court of Massachusetts
has before it, for adjudication, law
enacted last year, requiring Ill railroads
operated within the State to provide and
keep on sale mileage tickets for passen-
ger transportation at the rate Of $50 per
l,OoO miles; to accept for passage over
their own lines such tickets issued by
other railroad corporations operated
within the State, and to redeem such
tickets Of their own issue in money upon
presentation by other railway corpora
tons. In tho case under consideration,
the defendant company objects that the
act undertakes TO regulate interstate
commerce and is, therefore, void; that il
appropriates private property without
just compensation or due process of
law; that it interferes with the right to
make reasonable and proper contractsin
conducting business; that it contravenes
the constitutional restriction in regard
to legal tender in that it seeks to compel
arairoad company TO receive ms payment
for service rendered the obligations of
other companies which may be in.
solvent, and that it does not de-
line the liability as to whether the
company which sells the ticket shall be
liable for accidents or damages on
another road. On the other hand, It is
commended that the act is within the
constitutional power of the State to
regulate the business Of companies
operating under public franchise; that
it is within the general power Of the
Legislature, as condition imposed
upon the further exercise Of the fran.
chise or as an amendment to the charters
Of railroad companies, that it provides a
reasonable compensation for service
rendered; that it does not contravene
the legal tender clause Of the constitu-
ton, which is designed simply to restrain
the states from making paper currency
q legal tender, and that the insolvcnt
company point cannot properly be
raised until such case occurs.

or the school Election In This County
not Announced.
The Board of County Commissioners
met Yesterday morning to canvass the
vote cast at the school election held in
this county on the 10th inst, but after
spending a good deal Of time in going
over the papers and the law, it was
agreed to lay the matter aside without
announcing the result until the next
meeting of the Board. The trouble
arose over the voting for the length OF
the school term. In a number OF the
districts and precincts votes were cast
for three or four lengths OF term, run
ming from six months up to ten, and the
members of the Board were not pre-
pared to say just how the votes should
be counted. The Prosecuting Attorney
will look into the law, and advise the
Board at the next meeting. Mr.. COX,
D., is elected Superintendent.
That moss-covered claim or John
Burns. for work done during the con-
struction of the "Pewiky" railroad, and
which has been pending for something
like twenty years, came up, and at last
received favorable action. This claim
affords fine example OF what persist
ency will do. The claim has been
turned down by every Board since the
railroad was built, but Mr.. Burns was
never discouraged. He will get about
$3.50.
A claim by ex-Chiet of Police Del
brugge, amounting TO S6293 for ex-
penses incurred on travelling after pris-
oners on the order of the Prosecuting
Attorney, was ordered paid.

New Grade. to be E.tablished.

The Council Committee on Streets,
Alleys and Grades met last night and
approved ordinances and plats fixing
the grade of new Nineteenth street,
new Eighteenth street, and OF the ex-
tension of Main street from a point a
couple Of hundred feet north OF the
Ravine, north past the Top" mill.
This latter work is necessity prepara-
tory to laying the big water pipe for the
new pumping station of the city. above
town. The pipe mas to go a certain
depth below the top of the ground, and II
was important that the grade OF the
street extension be definitely fixed, be-
fore the ditch was opened and the pipe
laid. The new grade will cut of about
two feet three inches OF the hump at
.he point where the ferry road DIVORCES
from the main street, south OF the mill.
The engineers and one or two members
of Council will visit the locality to-day
To see what effect the change In grade
will have upon adjoining property.
The fixing of grades on Eighteenth
and Nineteenth streets was made neces-
sary by the Board OF Public Works de-
string to set curbs.

NEW YEARS IN AFRICA.

The Impotence of an Arabian Of Doubt

Savage nations have many ideas in

brethren. DIR. Junkin says that the
African New Year wish is ''RulL0 sumo

salutation the person saluted is ex-
pected to return some small gift The
doctor got rid of many of his visitors
by taking out of their mouths, before
they could utter it, their own greeting.
But not all of them.
Later in the evening experienced a
masterpiece of Arab impudence which

At the same time man came on the

once vanished with his confederates-
According to Arab customs there was
nothing peculiar in this, although, as
he had no connection with me what

was reason for all this; it was another

In Church Walls.

Many of the older churches In Eng
land and western Europe have jugs or
jars imbedded in their walls, the
mouths opening into the interior. For
a long time the openings were sup
posed to be holes in the walls, but a
closer examination a number of years
ago, on one or two of these old build
ings, disclosed the fact that the open
ings were the necks of jugs. Most of
the old churches erected from the
eleventh to the seventeenth centuries
have them, and in some they are pres
ent in great numbers A church In
Leeds has over fifty, while this number
is considerably exceeded in some of the
old French churches, nearly two hun
dred having been counted in the CATH
edral of Angouleme- The explanation
of their presence is simple They are
placed in the walls with view to bet
tering the acoustic properties of the
building. The efficiency of this strange
device is certainly open to question
