An IG.PoitrASr RULING.

By a late decision OF the United
law las been established-one OF vast
Importance to those who have business
dealings with railroads.
This principle holds tina. u railroad
company or any corporation acting Us n
common carrier canuot enter into a
contract with an individual whereby the
latter releases the corporation from liza
bilities.
The suit in question was brought 10y
Hughes &c Fleming, OF Philadelphia, to
recover damages for injuries sustained
by n valuable race horse. The animal
was shipped from Albany to Cynwid,
and while in the freight yards i'll Phila-
delphia was badly hurt in a collision
caused by u shifting engine running
into the car in which the animal was
stalled. Prior to the shipment OF the
horse Hughes Il Fleming entered into
nm agreement with the Pennsylvania
Railroad company, whereby the animal
would be transported at u reduced rate
provided the liabilities OF the company
was limited to 800. On the strength OF
this contract the railroad company de-
clined to pay more thau the stipulated
sum when the horse Was injured. Suit
was brought in Common Pleas Court
No. 3, Philadelphia, and Judge Sulz-
berger charged the jury to ignore the
contract and render Ii verdict Tor the
full amount. rhe Pennsylvania rail-
road carried the case to the state SUI
preme court, aud that body sustained
the ruling Of the lower court. Not sat
istied with this decision. the case WAS
taken to the United States supreme
court and Justice Day renders u final
ruling which establishes n very import
ant precedent and entirely new prin-
ciple from those heretofore held. 1t
practically strikes II severe b!ow Mt all
railroads and prohibits them from enter
ing into any further contracts with in
dividuals rs lar rs limiting their liabiI-
Ity is concerned.

Five Teams Leave The Track and Refuse To Continue in The C0nteSt-Several Hand to Hand Encounters in Which Managers and Riders Roughly Handled The Score To-Day.

Cycling association and R. F. Kelcey, chairman of the board of control or the association, Walthour and the nine other riders who withdrew from the race were indefinitely suspended. The cases will not be disposed of until the regular annual meeting of the associa. tion in February. Meanwhile they cannot ride on any track in the United States. Walthour has engagements to ride in Europe in the early spring, but if the suspension is not lifted he will not be allowed to ride on any track in the world, nor will any of the other. suspended men. Chairman Kelcey. in speaking of the men, said:
 'I intend to make an example of these fellows" He would say nothing further.
 When Manager Pollock ordered the ten bicycle riders who had left the track out of the garden a scene of wild confusion started. The police re- serves were called in. and it is reported that Nat Butler was beaten into up-, consciousness; but this was denied by Manager Pollock The garden was thrown into an uproar while the trou- ble was in progress and encounters took place all over the oval. Joseph l.. Sullivan of Boston, handler for Keegan, received a severe beating. Walthour has threatened to prosecute Powers for money due him for pacing, and Mclean says he has engaged a lawyer who will attach the gate re- ceipts at once.
