AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Supreme Court of Connecticut
has ruled that railroad companies have
practically absolute control Of station
property, especially in the regulation
of hackmen. A Middleton hackman
named Scoville insisted on his right to
solicit business at the station of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
road, and a suit against the road was
decided in his favor by the lower court.
This decision was set aside by the Su-
preme Court, which holds that a rail
| road company has as to station prop
erty the ordinary right belonging to
every owner of real estate, except that
sonable regulations made and publish
ed by the company. The court in this
case holds reasonable" a regulation of
the company excluding hackmen who
solicit business without special per-
mission, and adds that even a passen-
ger in a conveyance cannot absolutely
insist on its admission to the station
grounds. The court also rules, on the
main question leading to the suit, that
the company has a right to grant an
exclusive hack-stand on the station
grounds to a third party, and has a
remedy by injunction against viola
tons Of its rules.

THE RAILROAD WORLD.
Theatre Cars are the Latest Pail

THE LEHIGH VALLEY TO PUT
THEM ON-FRETGHF AGENTS
HAVE DONE GOOD WORK-NEw
TICKETS BEING TRIED-AN M
PORTANT DECISION.

The Lehigh Valley railroad will
shortly introduce theatre cars for the
amusement Of travellers in the Empire
State. The Black Diamond Express is
20 have a a equipped with a stage
and all the necessary scenery in it,
and a seating capacity for sixty people.
There will also be standing room left
for a few more, but of course the stage
will necessarily be small. The seats
will be built on a slope so that all may
be able to view the show under the
same conditions that one would wit
ness a performance in a regular opera
house. This car is now being built,
and according to the information given
out, is expected to be in SERVE by the
first of April. The Lehigh Valley
operates over 1910 miles of track, but
as the theatre cars will only be attach
ed to the Black Diamond Express, per-
formances will only be given while
this train is traversing the State of
New York. Whether or not the move
will be a paying one remains to be
seen, but at any rate it ought to prove
a relief for passengers who travel long
distances with nothing to occupy their
time.

TRYING NEW TICKETS.

The Erie railroad is trying a new
series of tickets and a new system o.
stamping them to prevent counter
feiting, and the use of expired tickets
The new tickets are of white on the
section to be used for the trip from
the station where the ticket is pur-
chased and Of pink ON the section
used for the return trip. The white
ticket is limited for use within twenty
four hours, and the return ticket may
be used any time within thirty days
For stamping the tickets the agent
uses a perforating stamp which cuts
the date of sale into the p~asteboard

Some little trouble has been had by

ACCOMPLISHING MICH GOOD.

ACCOMPLISHING MUCH GOOD.
The National Association of Local
Freight Agents, of which Wheeling has
a voice, is said to be accomplishing
more practical good than any other one
of the numerous organizations made up
of those identified with the operation
of the rail and water lines. The bust
mes of the association is to deal with
the numerous problems which con-
stantly arise between the shipper and
the transportation department of the
railroad companies, and to work out
what appears to be the best solution.
1t seeks to harmonic both interests
and TO facilitate their business rela-
tiOns.
