Important Points la Railroad Law by the
supreme uourt.
The supremo court enunciated somo
important principles ot railroad law, in
deciding tho case of Ucnjatnin l
loung ogainst tho I'ennsylvania roil
road company, which was taken up on
writ of error from common pleas Mo,
S of Philadelphia. In February, 1884,
Young nnd threo companions were in
Akron, Ohio, and desired to como baok
to Philadelphia. They nleo wanted to
stop oil about Unity-six hours at
placo a short distance west of Sunbury,
called Montanuon Junction; they not)
fieil tbo ticket agent of this fact and he
sold them "special liui'tcd tickets,
which ho punched in such a way that
they would bo good for six days. These
tickets wero fold by the New York,
Pennsylvania nnd Ohio railroad and
ropditig via tho Elmira and William-
sport to Williarasport, tbo i'hiladel
pbia aud Erie to Sunbury, Northern
Central to HarrUbtinr, and Pennsyl
vauia railroad to Philadelphia. The
party stopped of! at Montandon. nnd
on resuming paid local tare to sunbury,
After passing that point they offered
their through tickets to the conductor,
lie refused to accept them, and ejected
tho wholo party becauso they refused
to pay their faro to Harrisburg. They
afterwards got on another train, whose
conductor accepted the tickets. Suit
was brought to recover damages for
the ejection, but the lower court enter
ed a non-suit. the supreme court
holds, in reviewing the judgment, that
tbo plaintiff was bound to sustain two
propositions. These propositions wero
first, that tho ticket was good for pass-
ago trom bunburv to rhiladelphia on
tho day when tho conductor refused itj
secondly, that the conductor on the
Northern Central road was an employe
ot tho f ennsylvania railroad company,
On tho first point Judge Sterrett says :
"It appears that the New York, Penn
sylvania and Ohio road acted as the
agent of the other companies in tho
sale of these tickets, and if so they
were bouud by the act of the ticket
agent at Akron, acting within the
scope of bis authority. If he mado a
mistake or violated tho instructions of
his principals, it is very clear that the
conuding traveler should not in cotise
quenco thereof be treated as a tres
passer. When a railroad ticket has
been purchased in good faith from an
agent acting within the general scope
of his employment, it is the. duty of the
several companies named therein to
honor it until it is used or expires by
its own limitation. The election of
the plaintiff from the car was therefore
a trespass lor which the company
operating tho Northern Central road
is answerable in damages. As to the
second proposition, we think tho testi
mony was sufficient to have justified
its submission to the jury also. It is
practically conceded that the defend
ant company was operating the Elmira
and Williamsport and the Philadelphia
1 T.. ! J. 1 .1.. ....!'
uiiu .cue ru.ius, uuu iuu lesumouy
tends to show that the train in which
the plaintiff was carried to Sunbury,
the terminus of the latter road, was
the same that passed over the Northern
Central, all the while in charge of the
same conductor. The correspondence
which followed also tends to provo
that all the roads were operated by
the defendant company. The evi
dence is more than a scintilla, and in
the absence of rebutting testimony the
jury might well have found that tho
trespass was committed by an employe
of the defendant company and conduc
tor of ono of its trains. Wo think,
therefore, that the learned judge erred
in withdrawing tho case from the jury.
WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington. D. O., Feb. 1, 1887.
The toilers on Capitol Hill confront
ed various questions during the past
week, gome of which were important,
while others were not so. Araonc
them wero the fisheries trouble with
Canada ; woman suffrage ; pensions ;
the bill establishing Agricultural Ex
periment Stations j'the bill preventing
members of Congress from action as
attorneys for corporations with which
Congress has important dealing ; the
neuro-i'neuruouia bill ; tho Kiver and
Harbor bill, and several of tbo other
regular appropriation bills.
the Woman fautlraco Association.
which has just closed its nineteenth
annual convention in this oily, saw the
Senate remorsely voto down their suf
frage amendment to the Constitution.
liut sixteen benators voted in favor of
the ladies, and that was a great victory
for them. They have repeatedly seen
both houses of Congress vote against
the coudideration of the proposed
amenumeni, nut tnis was tbe tirst time
they ever bad a vote on the amend
mei't itself.
A committee of twelve ladies, all
prominent in tho suffrage movement,
called at tho White House to present
to tho President a written protest
against that portion of tbo Utah bill
which disfranchises gentile women of
Utah. The Mormons are already dis
franchised, malo aud female. The
President received the ladies gracious,
ly, and spoke a few words to each as
she was inlroductd to him. Several
of them mado short arguments in favor
of the rights of Utah women, to what
they bad been allowed to exercise for
fifteen years the franchise and
urged the Presideut to veto the bill if
it passps as it now reads. Sir. Clove
land listened ittentively, promised to
give the matter careful attention, and
said ho had supposed tbe women of
Utah did not caro to vote and did not
vote when they had a chano?. He
shook hands with each lady again at
partiug, and after they had been shown
through tho suito of parlors, the com
raittco left tho liousu much pleased
with tho cordial manner of tho Chief
Magistrate.
it iooks as u mere is really to bo a
cbango in the Cabinet soon, and that
two of the best officials in the Treasury
are to becomo president nnd vioe-presi-dent
of tho new National Ihnk in New
York. I refer to the Secretary of the
Treasury and to tho U. S. Treasurer,
Sir. Jordan. Mr. Manning declines to
say anytliiog regarding tie ma'ter,
but it is generally believed that ho will
offer bis resignation to take effect soon
after tbo adjournment of CViiiuresa.
The contemplated retirement of Treas
urer Jordan at that time is openly no
knowledged.
While the President is compelled to I
regret parting with these officers, ho is 1
quoted as eaying-tlmt ho did not hko
to nssumo tlio responsibility of stand
lng in tho way of what ho regarded
m their soli-interest. Tho salary of
.Mr. Manning. new otbco will bo 320,.
000 more than twice thnt of n Cabinet
oftiocr, nnd tho position will not ro
quire the continual strain necessary to
nil tho olhco of secretary ol tho Trcas
ury. Besides tho President nnd tho
Secretary's friends nro constnnttv fear
fill that his health will again succumb
to his present onerous duties.
Tlicro is n clear caso for a voto in
tho drag net pension bill which has
passed the Houso and tho Senate nnd
now goes to tlio rresident. it pro.
vldes that all persons who served threo
months or moro in tho military or
naval scrvicu ot tho United states in
any war, shall bo pensioned nl the
rale of $12 per month If they nro n tt
able to earn a support becauso of phvsi
oal or mental disability. "Anything to
spend tho surplus'' appears to be the
motto ot tho Kepublicans of both
branches of Congress. This racnsuro
which was rushed through the Senate
without a roll-call, virtually creates an
annex to tho Pension 15 mean because
it offers gratuities to "disabled" ex
soldiers, without regard to any con
nection between their service in the
army and their present disability.
Tho bill would take unknown mill,
ions out of thu Treasury if it bcoamo a
law, for it also provides nt tbo rato of
512 per month for tho dependent rcla.
tives of soldiers who arc not ablo to
provido for them. This would bo con
verting tho Federal Government into
an institution for dispensing "out door
relief, ' and encouraging shiftlessnoss
among a class that might otherwise bo
self.supportiiig.

the moiimon church to proclaim
risen from the qrave.
him
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 1. Two miles
south of this city stands a palatial resi
dence owned by an English gentleman
long since identified with tho Mormon
Church. It has been untenanted for
the last two years, save by an old ser
vantnan named White, who at one
time was connected with tbo Jczrels,
of London, a sect similar to tho Mor
mons. White claims ho was defraud
ed by them out of his property aud
latterly became couverted to "tho Mor
mon faith. He was considered a
trustworthy man and wa, therefore,
partially through necessity, taken into
the confidence of the leaders of tbe
Mormon Church of Zion, which, ac
cording to bis statements, is about to
perpetrate a fraud to which he is un
willing to become a party. He
says :
"two months ago there arrived at
the mansion an oil gentleman bearing
letters from my master in London, the
purport of which was to obey his every
wish and to keep his presence a
secret to all except those to whom be ,
saw tit to reveal lumselt. Within a
week persons began to arrive at the
houso in twos acd threes. They were
from Salt Lake City, and held long.
whispered consultations with my mys
terious guest. Little by httlo I gath
ered from stray remarks that ho was a
person of note, and soon after tbe
truth burst upon me that be is none
other than Brigham Young, the great
rropnet ot our (Jburcb, who is to be.
apparently, resurrected from the dead
and preach to the people of Zion as
one as having returned from tho grave
to tell what lies beyond. That bis
death and burial were a deception will
soon bo seen by the wholo world.
whilo thousands of his believers bow
nt his feet and he dictates to them
their ways of life. My guest's visitors
are men of high standing aud it was
in conversation with one of them, who
supposed from tho way 1 talked that 1
know all, that my suspicions were veri
fied, only my informant said Brigham
loung had risen from the crave in
Salt Lako City and was instructing
his disciples here in order to prepare
the people for the great event of his
coming.
1 he old man told the story with a
. .... . - .
sincerity that warranted lurther in
vestigation, and a merchant who for
merly did business in Salt Lake City
drovo out to tho mansion yesterday
and rapped at tho door. Receiving no
response he started around the house
to apply nt tho rear, when through a
bay window be saw the form and fea
tures of an old man who was sitting
inside. As he was unaware of bis
presence the merchant approached to
within a few feet of the window, scan
ning the old man s face closely, and
stepping back, immediately pronounced
the man to uo Brigham Young, whose
marked leatures he had often studied
in Salt Lake City, and which once
seen ho says can never be forgotten.
For a few moments the man sat sileut
ly, then raised his hand to his brow,
revealing a scar about tbe wrist that
still further establishes his identity.
It is a well-known fact that the
elders of the Mormon Church through
out Utah and Arizona havo of lato
been preaching the return of the
Prophet. This, together with the fact
that it was claimed by a St. Louis man
some months ago that Young was
seen nnd recognized in London j that a
number ct prominent Mormons from
Salt Lako City havo lately been seen
upon the streets ot London ; that im
portant legislation is about to bo en
acted to tho detriment of tho Mormon
Church and the veil of mystery with
which the Prophet's death has alwavs
been shrouded, makes it almost certain
that the the Mormon bauners through
out Utah will toon be unfurled, an-
nouncing that "tie is risen. '
As WO Stated last wpck inn renort in
tho papeis that a bill creating an "ad
ditional law judge for Columbia coun
ty," had been introduced in the legis
lature was a mistake. Had the alleged
bill been ono creating an additional
law judge for the 2Gth Judicial district,
there might have been some occasion
for excitemont and inquiry, but as it
was repotted to po only tor Columbia
county, the introduction of such a bill
was not only highly improbable, but
its passage was utterly impossible, as
Columbia county hus not sufficient
population to constitute a separate dis
district, and under tbo constitution tho
legislature has no power to creato an
aidilional law judgo for a part of a
district.
