JUDGK BIDDLK'g OPlUley. A Charge of Discrimination Ajralaatthe Pennsylvania Railroad Net Sustained. Jadge Blddle, of Philadelphia, has de ll veml an eplnlpn declaring portion of the aatl-dlacrimlnatlen act unoonstltu uneonstltu unoenstltu tlonalon tkedemarrer filed by the Pennsyl vania Railroad company la the suit brought against the company 6y R. b. Wlgten 8e,n te wearer treble damages for dis crimination In tbe transportation or coal. The Wlftens alleged'tbat the railroad company made unlawful unreasonable and excessive charges of money for the transportation of coat ever Its lines te cer tain point, while It charged lower rates ter the carrying of similar coal during the same period and the same time between the same or equivalent points ever the same railroads. la violation of tha met nr assemeiy or me commonwealth or Penn sylvania approved June 4, 1888. The section of the set under which the suit Is brought is as follews: "Ne rail road company or ether common carrier en gaged in the transportation of property, shall charge, demand, or receive from any person, company or corporation, for tbe transportation of property, or for any ether service, a greater sum than it shall charge or receive from any ether person, company or corporation for a like service from the same place, under like conditions and under similar circumstances, and all concession In rate and drawback shall be allowed te all person, companies or corporation alike, for auch transporta tion or service, upon Ilk conditions, under similar circumstances and during the same period or time. Ner shall any auch rail road company or common carrier make any undue or unreasonable discrimination bei tween individuals or Individuals and trans pert ion companies, or In tbe furnishing, lacllltle for transportation. Any viola tion or thla prevision shall make the offending or common carrier llable te the party injured for damages treble the ameunt of Injury suffered. Tbe defendant's first cause of demurrer was that the statement claims treble dam ages under this act, and deea net charge ui hid uviuiiuaiib una luwitj any unaue or unreasonable discrimination between plaintiff and ethers In the furnishing fa cilities for transportation, and therefore the penalty has net been Incurred. In ether words, that the clause of the second section mulcting treme damages Is appli cable alone te that portion or it forbidding discrimination in furnishing facilities for transportation, and haa no application te discrimination In charges for freight. This cause of demurrer, Judge Blddle said, seemed very strained and dismissed It, saying : "The treble damage clauae la a roenaee against the violation or the aet and the compensation for the successful en forcement of its previsions. In our opinion it applies te both or either or the forms of discrimination." Continuing, the Judge aald : "The second cause or demurrer assigned is ' that the aald declaration counts for treble damsme by reason of certain undue charges mode the plaintiffs for the transportation of goods from tills state te ether states, and thua de fendant shewetb that if the same wero se that tbe act of June 4, 1883, Is net applica ble thereto, or if It be held te ba within tlm same that it la void by reason or tbe exclu sive jurisdiction ever such transportation being vested in the Congress or tbe United States by section 8 or article 1 of the consti tution of the United States.' "The prevision referred te is the power glveu te Congress 'te regulate tbe com merce with foreign nations and among the several states and with the Indian tribes.' " This clause or tbe constitution baa been very frequently before the supreme court of the United States, and It has been require! te determine among etUbr things whether It confessed exclusive Jurisdiction ; whether it was exclusive, unless exercised; what censituted commerce In contradis tinction te police regulations ; whether it affected transportation bv land or water nr both ; and whether, when the restriction is confined in terms te the state, it Is Invalid, If It operated in the entire transltus. It may be that it is net easy te reconcile the decisions of tbe supreme court as te tbe powers of the states In these respects, but we de net think It would serve any useful purpose te review them in detail. The latest decisions are tbe ones binding upon us, and whether they are consistent with former enes is a matter with wblcb we have no concern. " In the present case it can hardly be contended that this Is net only an attempt te regulate commerce between tbe states. The first section of the state act declares that 'undue or unreasonable discrimina tion in charges for or In facilities for tbe transportation of freight within this state, or cemlnit from or sretmr te auv ether atatn Is hereby declared te be unlawful.' It Is, or course, only the regulation or transpor tation between tbe states which Is de murred te. The discrimination complained eris a te the shipments from the months or March, 18S3, te February, 1887. This was previous te the paasage or 'the inter state commerce act' by Congress, approved February 4, 1887, and consequently that act haa no bearing en the consideration or tbia question. It therofero presents the case or a regulation or lnter-state com merce by a state before Congress bad exer cised Us constitutional power in regard te it. " Believing, then, that the previsions or the act or assembly or June 4, 188.1, se far as they attempt te regulate tbe charges or freight transported from this state te for eign countries, or te ether states, te be un constitutional or void, as being within tbe exclusive Jurisdiction of Congress and for bidden te tbe states, aa declared by the supreme court of the United States, the second ground of demurrer Is sustained." 81men Cameren a "Woedohoppor.

Ninety-four bodies havt. been recovered, and it Is sup sup sup pesed five or six mero may be found in out of tbe way places. Of the injured, te a noticeablo extent, tbe clesest estimate is 125. Reports are coming from the interior or Kentucky. The number of dead at Ed dyville la new known te be eleven. In aud about Blackford twenty-nine fatallties are recorded, and several of the Injured will doubtlesa die, while the destruction of all kinds of property is past calculation. But Clay, a village or 2.V) peeple, in Webster county, appears te have been specially picked out and allllctcd by the tornado. The first beuse struck was a two story frame occupied by Moses Wilsen and family, The structure was picked up bodily and dafhed with destructive veho vehe veho mence against tbe residence of William Hepper. Beth hoaxes were crushed into shapeleas masses, and Wilsen, his wife, bis seven children and his mother and sister, who were visiting him, either killed or se badly hurt that they dled in a few hours. Hepper and two or his children were fatally hurt, aud his wife crippled for life. ' The United Brethren, Colored Baptist and M. E. Seuth churches were leveled te the ground. Tbe Odd Fellows' hall, overy store in town, the pestntllce and the school house were masses of ruins, but intense darkness shrouded the aw fill scene, and its terrors were punctuated bv the irreans of tbe wounded and the shrieks of the ter-1 rifled. All night theso uninjured followed tbe work or rescue, and daylight found twenty-six human beings dead or wounded past recovery. The village or Its remains, presented a painful sight. Thirty-eight buildings bad been dextrej cd and many mere injured. With the dawn carne messengers from all quarters praying for aid. Net only had Clay Buffered, but the whele country had been swept by the storm. Dcatli bud visi ted every farm. Where human life was spared brute existence was taken. A hur ried and incomplete estimate places the number of animal killed at 1,000. It is a singular fact that of the fifty te fifty-five persons killed in Clay and vicin ity ever thirty were children, and in most Instances they seemed te have lest their lives by being dashed te the earth. A pitiful case Is that or a colored family en the farm of Baxter Hewell, eight miles from Clay. The father and mother were crushed te death, but three children, ene of theiu a helpless cripple, were net injured te any extent. On tbe farm of James Ilellnwaya hole twenty-uve feet deep and sixty in circumference, was dug in a meadow, aud net a trace of the dirt can be found.

Theaterm at first did net frighten us, but as It grew rapidly the observers all ever tbe country telegraphed te headquarters In Washington that there watn't a doubt but that the storm would be something fearful. "The disturbance consisted of two sep arate well, you might call them divisions. On tbe north or the storm centre snow foil, and with high winds, made quite a bliz zard.

He sent te town for Constable Jacob Shaub, and upon the arrival of that officer, a thorough search wa made under the leave and the follow ing wa found 1 a blanket, pair of gloves, towel, hat, pip and pack or tobacco, and a mask of long hair, auch aa would be used by thieves. 9 Constable Shaub made a thorough search in the neighborhood and found viinder the feet bridge at the creek an empty woedon box, and two heavy piece of metal, that leeks like geld, with ahawl straps te each for convenience In carrying.

But the pert onglne was still working, though it stepped a low minutes later, aud It was ropertod that both engine rooms wero filling. Chief Officer Parson and a crew of six men starled away in a life beat in the bone of securing the assistance or seme passing stoamer. At 3 o'clecktou Thursday after noon the Adriatic bere down 011 tbe City of Paris, nnd at the same time the Aldorsgate liove In sight. The Adriatic then stoamed away. Mr. Ballard Smith, of tbe staff of the New Yerk IFerM, wa en the veasel and wired full accounts or the disaster. He says We only knew this much, that a space 70 leet by fiO feet Is filled with 23 feet deep of water new, and that it haa net yielded an Inch alnce that Tuesday after noon, although five powerful pumps have been almost constantly at weik since that time. The captain, with great coelnoss, ordered dinner served. Thogeng sounded and the Sissengeraen masse took their place at bie. I could net count a alugle absentee. Se for as I could Judge tbere was the usual appetite at every tabie. Candles, however, had taken the place or the olectrie lights, for the dynamos wero under water. There were enough beats te have taken off these ou beard and mero, but tbere was a heavy aea running at the time, and every one knows tbe peril of launching beats under such circumstances. There are 15 steel compartments dividing her total length or 6M) feet. The onglne room in again divided by a longitudinal steel bulkhead. These two compartments are new filled with water te the sea level, as la also the compartment Immediately aft, whlle compartment Ne. 12, the next further aft, nearly tilled after thoeccldont, but It was subsequently pumped almost drv. The roll had been heavy all day, but when we came en deck again there was a very marked list te starboard. Then a great alarm seized every one. The captain and most of bis officer w ere still below, but te trusted -wssenger they gave solemn assurance there was no pres ent danger and that ample warning would be given before making the beats ready. Tbe passengers all put en double weight clothing, tied en their llfe preservers and took their places en the wet, dark decks. The night Is described as ene fllled with alarm, though heroism was everywhere. We aaw lights en the distant horizon. Rockets and bombs were exploded from our ship, giving notice overy few minutes or our Imminent danger, but when morn ing slowly broke tbere was net a sign of a ship in sight. On Thursday morning the White Star steamer Adriatic was signaled nnd came alongside or the City of Paris, but, says Mr. Smith, she "steamed past us, hardly checking her engines, saving she would take asHOngers te New Yerk, but would net tow u te Fostuel," and he adds: " As the Adriatic, a ship of a direct rival line te the Inman, resumed her ceurse without further inquiry she was followed by the execrations of every soul en beard." Subsequently tbe City of Paris was taken in tow by the tug Aldersgate, "and," say Mr. Smith, " at midnight we sighted the steamship Ohie, or the American line, Philadelphia. She was bound westward, with Captain Hergeant In command. This beat Is of the only transatlantic line that files the stars and t tripes. As seen as the saw us in tow she Instantly changed her course and slew ly steamed alongside of u until we reached Fastnet, Te heuia' heavy storm en any day since that momentous Tuesday afternoon would have sent her te the bottom. On Saturday afternoon a meeting of the pas sengers was called. Revolutions were adopted expressing gratitude te the Al mighty for geed weather during tbe days or peril, and thanking the officer and crew for their brave work. Upen the sugges tion or Mr. Hamilton Syuge, or Londen, a fend was also promptly raised te endow in perpetuity two beds in a New Yerk and a Liverpool hospital, respectively, for the officers and ere w or the City or Paris. The fend already amounts te 8'i,noe. Quki:nstew.v, March SLThe stern of tl 0 ateame,' City or Paris lidteply sunk and her Lews are bigii out or water.
