CORPORATION COMMISSION.
A Number of Minor Matters Disposed
of Yesterday-Meets Again Today.

A Number Of Minor Matters Disposed
of Yesterday-Meets Again Today.
The Corporation Commission met yes
terday and disposed of a number of
matters, solely in the way Of routine.
The commission meets again this morn
ing.
The most important case yesterday
was the hearing of the exceptions of
the Seaboard to the rate on cotton
seed and cotton seed hulls, on the CON
tinuous mileage basis. The Seaboard
was represented by Mr.. H. w. B. Glov5-
er, traffic manager, Captain w. III. Day.
and Major j. ID. Shaw. They excepted
to that clause of the order which de-
clares:
'.All connecting railroads. which are
under the management and control, by
lease. ownership or otherwise of ono
and the same company. shall for purs
poses of transportation, in applying this
tariff, be considered as constituting but
one and the same road, and the rates
shall be computed rs upon parts of one
and the same road"
The Seaboard, they said, is composed
of separate roads operated under individ-
ual charters and merely associated for
purposes of traffic. The commission
reserved its decision until the next ses-
sion.
Other cases were II. b. Brown VS..
Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad Company,
for separate waiting rooms for white
and colored at Vaughan. The defend
ant agreed to provide the accommodate
ton desired at once.
There were several complaints before
the commission from merchants through
out the State affecting the storage
rules recently promulgated and put into
effect by all roads composing the North
Carolina Car Service Association.
The case was continued to today when
Manager T.. r. Albright, OF the Car
Service Association, will appear before
the commission.
The rules to which objection is made
is the charge of 500 per car for the
first month and $3.50 for each subse-
quent month for storage for freight in
car load lots and in less than car load
quantities l cent per 100 pounds per
day, with minimum charge Of 5 cents
for any one package or lot for one con-
Signee, but not more than S1.00 per
day for any one consignment not in
excess of IA car load.

GINA, Georgia, Carolina and Northern
Railroad petition for better depot ac-
commodations. Petition granted.

Mount filed petition asking that the

provide better mail and passenger SER
vice for that town Continued for in
yestigation.

the Carolina and Northwestern Rail-
road for failure to furnish ears for load
ing lumber. Copies of the complaint
We're served on the defendant with a
request for answer.
There were twenty or hirty ether
complaints of overcharges and cases of
discrimination on various roads disposed

chairman of the Board of Freeholders
that framed the charter of Oakland in
1889
Judge Stanly was best known MS
trustee of the Garcelon will trust. He
was the friend and legal adviser of the
late DIR. Samuel Merritt, and drew ND
the trust deed by which DIR. Merritt's
fortune of S1,0O0,000 was set aside for
the building of an immense hospftaI
on the shores of Lake Merritt and an
endowment fund for the medical de-
partment of Bowdoin College. BY the
provisions of the trust Judge Stanly and
Stephen w. Purington were made trus-
tees to carry out the wishes Of DR..
Merritt and Mrs. Garcelon, his sister.
DIR. Merritt died in 1890 and Mrs.
Garcelon in 1891, a few months after
She had executed the trust deed. The
trust deed has been the cause OF much
litigation, owing to the dissatisfaction

A California paper records the death
of Judge John A. Stanly, famous as the
only surviving trustee under the Garce-
Ion will and a leader at the bar of that
State. Or his life and career the paper
says
Judge Stanly had been a resident of
this city [Oaklandl and of San Fran
cisco for more than thirty years, and
during that time was prominent in his
profession, in the church and III social
life He was born in North Carolina
sixty-eight years ago and was admitted
to the bar of that State soon after he
attained his majority. Coming to San
Francisco in 1867, he became a member
of the law firm of Stanly, Stoney &
Hayes. He was appointed county judge
" San Fransico by Governor Haight
and was subsequently returned to that
office by election. In 1890 he was n
candidate on the Democratic ticket for
Justice Of the Supreme court, but was
