Company, is subject to the limita-
tions imposed by the 9Th Amend
ment, sthat private property shall
not be taken for public uses without
just compensation such just com
pensation requires payment for the
franchise to take tolls. as well as fol-
the value of the tangible property
and the assertion by Congress of its
purpose to take the property does
not destroy the state franchise.
Z. Congress has supreme control
over the regulation of commerce, but
if in exercising that supreme con
troll, it deems it necessary to take
private property, then it must pro-
coed subject to the limitations i'm
posed by this 9Th Amendment, and
can take only on payment of just
compensation.
Subsequently Congress passed an
other Act by which the Secretary of
War was authorized to purchase
the whole of the works of
the Navigation Company, or if be
could not agree upon the price, then
to institute condemnation proceed
ings to ascertain the just compensa-
ton for the property including the
value of the franchise to collect tolls,
and proceedings were instituted, a
long and expensive hearing had, and
the commissioners awarded and the
court confirmed the award of over
100000, which amount was paid
by the Government and The naviga-
tion of the river made free. 1t will
be seen that placing the valuation
of the locks and dams at the amount
fixed by the first award of 100000
for each of the seven locks and dams
that the total would be ST. ,463, 900
not including the franchise to take
the tolls, and that over 50, 207,0 900
was allowed to the corporation as
the value of the franchise to take
tolls, or in other words. that the
franchise was valued at more than
the visible or tangible property.
Measured by this standard the
suspension bridge property with its
franchise is worth more than $4,000
even if the tangible property, name
ly, the streets. real estate, masonry
and structure, were placed at no
more than $4,000 or $4,000.
Another suggestion for the con
sideration of the court: If a free
public bridge is erected it will de-
stroy or damage the franchise of the
present corporation as, effectually and
completely as though the bridge
were taken, and under the princi-
pies laid down in the above case
that damage will have to be paid to
the company which will be the full
value of it's property, including the
franchise to take tolls, hence new
public bridge means that the county
must pay for two bridges, the new
bridge and the present structure,
when one will answer all the needs
of the public.

A DAUGHTER OF EVE.
Serious Trouble To a Young Girl
Who Ate an Apple.

Boston, Mass, September s.
Marie Betancourt, bright young
girl, accepted the gift of an apple
from an admiring young man with
whom she worked in cotton mill.
She ate it to the core and enjoyed
the fruit.
Within 10 minutes she was de-
prived of the power of speech, and
for three weeks, up to day or two
ago, her communication with friends
and members of the family had
been by signs and writing. Med
ical men say she has been the vic
tim of the strange disease known as
asphasia, which is very uncommon,
and is especially so in persons of
her age.
The medicine applied appeared
to give no relief, and the pain at all
times was severe, particularly in
the right temple. At times her
memory failed her. The physicians
by the way, agree that the apple
was not poisoned. They say that
asphasia was the result of the rup-
ture of an artery of the brain.

A flan Marries Five Sisters One

Huntington, w. Va, Sept. a.
"Bill' Mercer, of Raccoon Creek
fifteen miles south of this city, is
probably the happiest man mortal
in the country. He came here last
evening to secure his fifth marriage
| license.
Mercer has just passed his fiftIeth
year, and was married to his first
wife when nineteen. She was Miss
Jennie Moffatt, and the four success
sors to the Mercer marital yoke
have been her sisters, Ada, Cathe-
rine, Missouri, and this evening
Miss Anna will take their place.
There is but one more of the Moffatt
girls left, and she is now twenty.
Strange TO relate the parents of
the girls made no objection to their
daughters wedding Mercer. They
are consumptive family, and this
disease has carried off most of the
Mrs. MERGERS. Mr.. Mercer is the
father of eight children born during
wedlock with the Moffatts so far.
When spoken to of the peculiar
feature about his marriages he re-
piled that he had just simply fallen
in love with the Moffatt family.
