I'lider pretence of punishing dis crimination, It Introduced descriptions nnd conditions Inte tlie deliuitien of the nll'ence that make it almost iuiitoxsihle ler any action te be brought under the statute. Such con ditions are net (eutaiucd in the 17th article of the constitution, and thu Legislature has no right te interpolate them In an act intended te carry that Instrument Inte etlect. I'mler the act or IS!.'!, disci luiluatieu te be sectional, must be for a like service, under similar cir cumstances, upon like conditions and in transportation irem the suite place ; and, unless all these conditions exist, no remedy or piiiiishmeiit Is pinvided.

It has since printed Mr. llrcnnei's own testimony us te the utter falsity of the story relating te him ; ami new it virtually confesses that thel'rauk- ford story was as Imgus and baseless, as its canards about a ghost stalking ever the Maner hills with Its head in its hand, and the iKMrilied isirpse or a murdered peddler having lieen found hi a Pulton township swamp. The A'cic AVa'a original statement was lused en a letter alleged te have been re ceived by a married daughter of Prankford, In this city, from Martin Kline, a hair brother of l-'mukfenl, in Akren, Ohie, who "went en te tell of Pranklbril's death which occur red at his (Kline's) Iinmbat Akren, Ohie, en Oct. !d, arterau Illness of nine weeks fiem biahi fever produced by the wound hi his eye."
