AGAINST THE ALTON
SUIT For DAMAGES DECIDED IN
FAVOR OF CHICAGO scALPERs.
Sale Of $4,000 worth of Tickets Mt
30 Cents ON the Dollar I'm Which
the l.. Il. & w. Was Interested.

CHICAGO. March 9.-Judge Adams to-day
decided the case OF milford & Mackenzie,
ticket brokers, against the Chicago & Alton
railroad, finding the issue for the plaintiffs
and fixing their damages at $1o,S54. Null
ford e. Mackenzie were firm of ticket
brokers who, in $780, had an office in this
city and st. Louis In that year they bought
from the Alton road $4,000 worth of tickets
at so cents on the dollar, the tickets being
good over the Alton between Kansas City
and Bloomington, thence east over the Lake
Erie & Western. Shortly after the purchase
OF the tickets, a passenger rate war set in
and for two years the tickets were un-s
6alable, until the year 1882. In June Of
that year, after the brokers had disposed of
about half the tickets, the Lake Erie &
Western, which had gone into the hands of
receiver, repudiated the agreement
between itself and the Alton by which the
tickets had been made good over it's lines
east of Bloomington, and the tickets, or
what was left Of them in the hands of the
brokers', became worthless. The brokers
began suit against the Alton because it was
solvent while the other road involved in the
transaction was not The defense of the
Alton was that in the sale of the tickets
1T acted merely as the agent of the Lake
Erie a. Western, and that the latter cor
poratiou was the one which was liable.
Judge Adams held in effect that the tickets
were contracts made by the Alton.

Two characteristics of Hancock General

year of the war. The second seems to us
the more important of the two. and it un-

cocks ability to carry out his plans. on the
field: Although regular in every fibre
of his being, Hancock was altogether desti-
tute of that snobbshness regarding volun-
teers which was exhibited By SO many small
minds, in so many great places, during the
the fact that the war was TO be waged by
the volunteers; and that, however much the

East and from West to the defense of the

conflicts. Hancock not only never sneered
at volunteers, he did not, incredible as it
may seem, even patronize them. He made
them feel-by his evident respect, his hearty
greeting, his warm approval OF everything
they did well-that he regarded them

honorable soldiers of the United States
army as if they had belonged TO the old

They draw their sustenance from
the blood, and If the blood is thin, inn
pure or insufficient, they are in state

A Male Baby Found in the River at
Martins Ferry---Had Evidently
Been Drowned, as the Post MOrtem
Showed 1t Had Been Born Alive.

Yesterday morning about ten o'clock,
Thomas and George Evans, two young
boys of Aetnaville, were minnowing at
the Aetna mill landing, when Thomas,
the youngest one, who is about nine
years old, saw the body of a baby float
ing on the water about eight feet from
the shore. He called his brothers at
tention to it and they brought the
body to the shore.
Chas. Fritz, John Morgan and Rob-
ert Edwards, who were near by, placed
the body out on the shore, and then no
tilted Coroner Rease Frisbay, who went
down and had the body brought up to
G. F. LeSuer's undertaking establish

From appearances the child, which
was a male was not over day old,
and had been in the water for three or
four days, and was in a very bad con-
dition. Doctors Blackford and Shut
tleworth were called, and held a post
norton examination, deciding that the
child had been born alive and was
drowned.
