Important Case Decided.

AT special term OF the United States
Court in Martinsburg on Monday Judge
Dayton rendered an important decision
in the celebrated suit OF the Pennsylvania
Steel Company against the Washington
& Berkeley Bridge Company, instituted
as the result OF the damage suits growing
out OF the killing and injury of several
men when one of the piers OF the bridge
at Williamsport collapsed while the iron
superstructure was being placed in posi-
ton. Judge Dayton decided in favor Of
the Pennsylvania Steel Company, and
his decision permits that company to re-
cover from the Washington & Berkeley
Bridge Company all damages awarded
TO plaintiffs in the damage suits growing
out OF the accident al the bridge. Suits
were brought in the Circuit Court in Ha-
gerstown against the steel company by
the relatives OF those who were killed,
and by several OF those who were in
iured. Damages amounting TO about
$4,000 were awarded in the several
suits. The defense OF the steel company
was that the bridge company was re-
sponsible, and the suit in the federal
court at Martinsburg was the result. The
decision handed down by Judge Dayton
throws the responsibility back upon the
bridge company, il being held that the
bridge company was responsible for the
defective condition OF the pier, and not
the steel company. The decision is a
serious blow TO the bridge company. 1t
is said that an appeal will be taken from
Judge Dayton'S decision.

Edgewood. The birds have gone to
nest in a heavily wooded tract and efforts

he has been close to them on three dif-

and he is positive they are specimens OF
the supposedly extinct passenger pigeon,
which was so plentiful in some parts. of
the United States few years ago.

SOMETHING OF sensation has been
created in Washington and other sections
of the county the past week by the con-
LESSONS OF Martin M. Mulhall, for num-
Der of years general lobbyist OF the Ma
tional Association OF Manufacturers, an
organization that has long been known as
an obstructor OF certain forms OF legislation
and the promoter of other schemes. Col.
Mulhall gives details and mentions names
right out, including a score or more OF
Congressman, Senators and other men
high in public life-and he makes oath to
his statements. Accordingly his story,
this association had on its pay roll or act
ing as its agents many men prominent IN
official life. In its operations il bullied
some Congressman and bribed others,
while Those who could neither be bribed
nor bullied il beat in The conventions or
or the polls.
There may be agood deal Of chaff con-
nected with Mulhall's story, but il is very
likely that there are many grains OF truth.
Congress has wisely agreed to appoint
committee TO thresh the matter out.

THE Chesapeake & Ohio Railway,
which for six years evaded the law pro-
viding for two-cent passenger fares in
West Virginia, refuses TO accept with good
grace the decision of the United States
Supreme Court. and has applied TO the
Public Service Commission OF this State
for the privilege OF continuing the three
cent rate. The company charges that the
State law is confiscatory-an improbable
and absurd claim that ought not to be al
lowed except under the most convincing
proof.
Continuous evasion OF the law by such
corporations as the c. & D. very natural
ly exasperates the people who are thus
taken advantage of, and when public
opinion makes trouble for the railroads
they set up great outcry Of unfairneSS
and prejudice.
incidentally, this contention OF the C..
& o. Railroad will show what sort OF
stuff our new commission is made Of.
