THE DAILY EYENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 1870. LEQAL XX7TJ3X.LX033I7CX3. THE RICHMOND COAL WHARVES. An Important Decision The Itrndlnc Rnllrond Keqalrcd ta Afford Full Accauiinotlatlaa la Hhlppers of Coal. Supreme Court, Kini Priue Judge Read. In the caso of Lewi Audenrled H aU vs. The Phila delphia and Reading Railroad Company, in equity, J ud go Itead tills mornlug delivered the following opinion: Uy the art of the 4th of April, 1R33, under which the (lefendBUts were Incorporated, thmr railroad might terminate "at. some suitable point In or near the clly 01 Philadelphia, or on the lino of the Phila delphia and Columtiln, or the Philadelphia. German town and Norrixtown Kallroad,"' and under these powers they constructed a railroad terminating on tlieKlver Delaware, at Richmond, near the idly of Philadelphia. This route 1h distinctly recognized In the fourth section of tlio act of lioth March, 18W (1. L. 14'.t), In these words, "The routo already lo cated by them lor their railroad from the Falls of Schuylkill to ihu Klver Pelaware." The eastern ter mliiation of the main coal line of the road Is, there fore, the river. 'I o accommodate the shippers of coal a large wharf front, to lie owned by tlio com pany, was therefore a matter of absolute necessity, mill It has beeu acquired by the defendants, who hnve built wharves and piers running Into the tide way of the Delaware, with branches or extensions of the nillroad running down to the ends or the piers, so as to allow the coal to be emptied from tlio cars Into the holds of the vessels. lilns are also proviJed luto which the coal can be lumped wbeu the vessels are not there. The branches or extensions are In fact part of the main line, and subject t tno same rules and provisions, or they are branch railroads, within the meaning of tho ltlh section i.i the act of 13th April, 1846, which )ias been extended by the act of the Vim April, lstiA, V. L. k'jC.to the hlladelphia and Heading Kall i tail Company. (Black vs. Kallroad Company, 28, J.igal Jntlhi,encrr, 1MS8, p. 801.) 'i he main line Is H A miles In length, with a doable track, u nil all the railroads owned, leased, or con 1 1 oiled by the defendants have an aggregate length, Including slclngs, amounting to 1142 miles of single irack read. Thrxe subsidiary roads render tribu tary to the main Hue almost the entire territory of the southern and middle coal fields, one of sixty miles, und the other of over thirty miles In length. The capital stock of the Philadelphia and Reading Kallroad Company, on 30th November, 1S69, was f'-'u,(iit,100-28, lis lunded debt $7,819,6!M13, am) the managers have negotiated a loan of S.",000,010 of tteven per cent, coupon bonds, dated January 1, 1870, payable in twenty years, one-half convertible nt the option of the holder Into stock, at par, at any time after the first or January, 1872. The result of this large moneyed Investment was that in ist9 the total of all coal transported on the main line was 4,!3,457 tons of 2240 lbs., of which 2,302,72 tons were sent to Richmond for shipment. Lewis Audeurled, one of the plaintiffs, was the first shipper of coal that occupied one of these wharves at Richmond. lie took It in the year 1842, and used it till 1848, when he formed a partnership, which continued the occupancy till 1854, when the present firm (the plaintiffs in the bill) was formed, who used a wharf or part of a wharf till 1863, and for two years past used the wharf No. 11 as shippers of coal from that point to New York, Boston, and other porta. During all this time, with the exception of 1S5S, the plaintlirs allege that they or their predecessors, for twenty-seven years, with that single exception, have been, if not the largest, certainly among the largest shippers or coal over the road, and from these wharves during the past year (1809) they shipped there over 213,000 tons, being an eleventh part, within a fraction, of all the coal sent there for shipment. Lewis Andenrlcd, the senior partner, In his affl davit says: "Relying on the coutlnuance of the usual facilities at Richmond my tlrra.and the several partners are involved In large engagements, to carry out which, to a great extent, equal facilities at Rich mond for shipping with all others In the trade are "We have advanced to miners not less than 1175,000, and agreed to advance not less than 1 100,000 more. "If we are denied these usual and necessary facilities our custom will be to a great extent broken up, or we must Und coal for it elsewhere, and prin cipally from parties who transport It over roads ter minat'ng directly in the vicinity of New York. "When the company made the arrangement with us looking to an increased tonnage and business, they gave us additional wharf accommodations for the expected increase, and in consequence of this and our using these rachitics to the fullest extent, It is believed the comi.any made in the year 18A9 about 21,no0 on the item of shipping our coal, a much larger profit than was made from any other individual shipper or firm. "The dispute between us and the company arises from different interpretations of the terms of a ver bal contract. 1 never knew or believed nor heard It asserted that the terms were such as the company now asserts until the shipping season was over and the drawbacks paid." Since 1867 the company ships all the coal and are paid from fifteen to twenty-two and a half cents per ton. with ten cents for dumpage; during the day of arrival, and a loss of this allowance, if not so dis charged, and an additional fine. The defendants claim there Is due to them, by the plaintiffs, the sum of 17,993 33, belng.as they allege, received by them as drawbacks during the years 1863 and 1869, In excess of the drawbacks current nt the time, and in a letter dated 1st of February, 1870, making this claim, it is distinctly stated that if the claim is not properly adjusted ''this company will feel constrained to commenco legal proceedings for its recovery, and will refuse to permit Messrs. Audeurled i Co. to occupy a wharf at .Richmond hereafter." The last threat has been carried Into full effect, and the plalutiil's are entirely deprived of all wharf accommodation at Richmond. It will be observed that the defendants, as carriers of coal, take charge of it from the coal region until it Is loaded into the vessels at Kichmond. The railroad is thus extended from its commencement in Schuylkill coauty until It reaches the vesseis in the Delaware luto which the cual la to be lo .dec. Of the contracts for lstw, we have no other evidence than that the drawbacks were given by the President and Mr. Tucker, and paid and settled without a word of complaint on cither side. In the beginning of I860, it was deemed Important, as had been found in 1868, to l'iduce large shipments of coal to the eastward, and par ticularly to Hot-ton, which could only be done by giving heavy dra bucks, so as to enable the ship pers to sell at r rices wuich would allow them to compete with the coal of other companies whose natural termiuus was New York and not Philadel phia, An etlort was made by Mr. Hmttn in March, 1969, to have the irade called together and to induce them to sell coul freely, and to unite with the com pany at low charges for transportation in exhibiting the strength of the Schuylkill region. Colonel Day, the gentlemen spoken to, said to Mr. Smith, "That it was our light with the New York companies, and that we ought not to urge the operators to partici pate In it," at which he said Mr. SniltU exhibited a good deal of annoyance. Mr. Tucker says In his letter of 6th December, 1869, to Mr. Smith, which was read to the President before it was sent, "1 Inquired if lie (Colonel Day) recollected how low you (Mr. Smith) oltered to trans port the coal, lie replied thut he Uiought you said as low as fifty cents, if it was necessary to maintain a successful competition. I then asked the com mittee how they supposed we felt whin Audenrled A Co. proposed to secure to us the transportation of 100,000 tons at ion price ngreeu upuu. i suaieu inai we felt under great obligations to them." Mr. John Tucker, a very able and acute man of business, in the conclusion of his letter says, "Kven bow, with all the money we have made, 1 would be better satisfied it we all had had a steady and regu lar busluess and working to our capacity at the chargison Autlenrled's coal than I am now. The liatile would have beeu fought, and we should have won it. Now a coutl ct Is probably before us." It is clear that whatever contract was made be tween Mr. Tucker, me recognized agent of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, and Mr. Addison Child, on behalf of the plalutlils, at which W. O. Audemled was present, "it was all ver ba', except the memorandum mentioned In the bill.' Of this contract there are three competent wit nesses, Mr. Tucker. Mr. Child, and Mr. Audenrled, und by It, whatever it was, both parties in good faith wiould be bouud. The error, if there bo any, has bees in turning to resolutions of the board, and as suming that all contracts made by authorized agents were Illegal if not in strict conformity with them. There is no evidence that the drawbacks of 1863 -were not regularly allowed by the proper authority, and paid in reguiur course by the proper otlluers. In ordinary cases this should settle this part of the claim. The drawbacks of 1869 were the fruits of a snecial contract, as stuted by the agents of the two parties. Some of the details may bo disputed; but it Is certain they were all paid in due course after the attention of the incoming president had been called to them. Vnder this state of things, it is clear that these matters were the subject-first, of ami cable tettlement, sud if that could not be effected, tr second, an appeul to a legal tribunal ; but not of al'xeHt per minai, of breaking up an old-established cuton.er by depriving him of all wharf accommoda tion at Kichmond. 1 think the reason assigned did not Justify ihe defendants in taking away from tlie plaintiffs all proper wharf accommodation P As there wis no reason justifying the company In their action, la the assignment of wharf accoiniuoda t on to persons situated as the plalutlils were and W . mere matter of capl ice T This Is a question o the gravest character to the company.who derive all their ctisrtered rights from the State, and to the coniuiuuity at large, who cannot look on without a fc "rg i'l'ng of cilHp,.rnb,.UnH nt th arbur.try ii l" i f corporation, however wealthy auJ po werful. I am of opinion the defendants were and are bound to give the plaintiffs proper wharf accommodation at Richmond, and I accordingly grant an injunction as preyed for in the second, third, and fourth para graphs of the prayer. The decree in proper form to be entered forthwith. AN APPEAL TAKEN. An appeal was at once taken by the defend ants from the decree to the Supreme- Court in Banc. In a letter to a friend In New London, Conn., General Sherman says that ho is rejoiced to learn that the people of that city ratify the appointment of Mrs. Mower as Postmaster, and adds, "Let them now help her in tho discharge of her olllce, and be patient until she masters it. If a country wants bravo mon in hours of danger, they must remember the widow left desolate and the children who need food and education. I feel the deepest Interest In Gene ral Mower's family, and am delighted that this olllce has been so well bestowed." ITT ITEMS. rtrsiNFss Coats ron Muk, $). IIi'hi nkhh Pants ron Mkn, Ha.

The countloaa ways in which the fern Mods i'arine may be utilized In cookery, the immense number of dishes some plain and simple, others of the rues' delicate and delicious nature to which it imparts not only all that iadeairablo in quality, but a woaderful increaae of quantity, are among its strongest recommend ations. 1 here is no kind of farinaceous proparationa.no kind of soup or gravy in which it may not be used to ad vantage; and the blano mange, puddings, cmtards, creams, jellif s, gruels, etc., made from it are not only un nrpasaed, but, in our opinion, unequalled. Invalids whose stomachs are so sensitive as to reject all ordinary preparations for the sick room, find no difficulty in re taining and digesting the light and nourishing food of which this article forms the basis. On the score of economy the Sea Most Farina is cer tainly infinitely preferable to any of the starches, farinas, gelatines, etc, made from the oereals or from maize. We are assured that a package of it, costing only twenty-five oents, will produce no Ices than sixteen quarts of blano mange, jelly, custard, or Moss Farine cream. The quan tity setms almost incredible, but the statement is made on good culinary authority, and our readers can easily test its aocuracy for themselves. FnAKEUN says a thing economically don is well done. This system of doing business hat always been observed by Rockhill ft Wilson. By keeping down expenses they are enabled to sell their clothing at far lower prices than nooses that waste in show. The publio have disoovered this fact, and felt the benefit of it in their purchases of the fine, substantial, and cheap clothing whioh they are making daily at the old and popular house of Kockbill A Wilson, Brown Stooe Hall, Nos. 603 and 605 Chesnat streot.

Sometimes a cold will not yield to onniNAitY bemedies, because of the severe inflammation of the delicate lining of the tubes through whioh the air wo breathe is distributed to the lungs. This obstruction produces pain and soreness, hoarseness, cough, difficulty of breathing, heotio fevor, and a spitting of blood, matter or phlegm, finally exhausting the strength of the patient, and developing very set ious disease. Dr. Jaynes' Expec torant seldom fails to remove these symptoms by relieving the lungs of all obstructing matter, and healing all sore ness. Pleurisy, Asthma, and Bronchitis are likewise cured by this standard remedy, and the reputation it has maintained for over thirty years affords the best guaranty of its merit. Sold everywhere.
