Washington, Feb. 17. The Ines
Sh.te: Commtce Commission today
rendered an opinion iu the case of
Heck & Petre vs. the East Tennes
see, Virginia & Georgia Railroad
Company, the Knoxville & Ohio Rail
road Company, the Iiichmond & Dan
ville Railroad Company, the Rich
mond it West Point Terminal and
Warehouse Company, and the Coal
Creek & Now River Railroad Com
pany. Iu this case it appears that a
railroad company chartered by the
State of Tennessee, owns a short
road wholly in that State, but never
owned aDy rolling stock or operated
its f oad. The road was used and op .
crated as a meaus of conducting inter
state traffic in coal by companies
ownibg connecting inter-State roads.
Tile Commission holds that the short
rosd is one of the facilities and in
strumentalities of inter-State com
merce and as such is subject to the
provisions of the act to regulate com
merce. In respect to such traffic the opin
ion hoMi-that the duties of such road
to the public are the same, wi hout
respect to its ownership, corporate
control, authority, or the means of its
construction, a3 one o the "instru
mentalities of shipment or carriage."
It tuust be accessible, it says, to all
inter State shippers oa equal and
reasonable terms. The public cannot
bf deprived of this right by separate
or joint action of the defendants.
The traffic in question iB held to be
inter-State traffic. The companies
conducting it use this short road as a
facility to such traffic. They cannot
be permitted to use it for the purpose
of Jisciimination between mine own
ers on its line. The claim for plena
ry damages, Hhe opinion sayB, pre
sents a case of common law, in which
tun (ieienaants are entitled to a jury
trial. Opinion by Commissioner Mor

Itulus of an old Town and of an Old
Church.
Lenoir Topic,
A lady in Wilmington writes the
following interesting incident to
friend here. She, with other friends
visited Uol. MurchiBOn s large rice
plantation on the Cape Fear river fif-
teen 'ratios below Wilmington.
'The large, handsome white house
is si'uated in a grove of beau' if ul live
oaks, all draped- with the long grey
muss, and ia on a bluff overlooking
the broad, level rice fields that stretch
up and down the river as far almost
as one can see. The river here is
about two miles wide, the ocean is a
mile or two beyond the river; though
it is ten miles from here to the mouth
of the river. In one of our drives we
visited the ruins of the first Episco
pal church ever built in Is. C, (bt
Philips.) To gel there we drove over
an. old field that was once the town
of Brunswick, though one would nev
er suspect it. There are piles of rock
atd brick here and there, where
chimneys once stood, and a more des
olate spot I never saw all grown up
with little thickets of pine and scrub
oak. We stopped at the edge of a
dense forest, and leaving our hack
made our way over brush and through
bramble thickets a short way, when
you come to the ruins.
''First you find a few grave stones
and vaults, scattered here and there
through the thicket; on one or two
you can read tho inscriptions. The
dates of the deaths were 1729 and
1736 and near thie the brick walls
of the old church rise rooflees an
llooiless allthe wood work havin
goce long ago. It was a very large
church, the walls about three feet
thick. The brick wwre all brought
from England. Little bushes and
tr es were growing all on the top of
the walls and out oF the cracks and
crevices. The evening was rather
dark aud gloomy anyway aid the
dense., thicket made it evtn m ire so,
and to complete tho weiid, uncanny
and dfdu'ul uppearan o t f tho place
an old ul bat penhed in a small tree
o:er the (j raves.
' From there we weut down to tho
river backs to Fort Atdorsonand saw
all tuiougu iue woods tue remains oi

J. T'ldcn and the Electoral Commis
sion of m7.
Springfield Republican.
The question was raised at the
Brooklyn dinner on S. J. Tilden's
birthday, bv a remark of Mr, Hoadiy,
of Ohio, whether or not Mr. Tilden
consebted to the electoral commission
of 1$87. Hoadiy said this, accord
ing t the report of the Tunes: "It
was not his fault that he was not in
augurated. It waa without his knowl
edge and withomt his consent a course
of conduct was deiermined upon
which enabled t4ie Republican party
to stjeal the Presidencv. And he
has ejnee published a letter maintain
ing that he was correct in bin asser
tion. I Mayor Hewitt has now written
a lettjer in which he makes this inter
esting historical statement :
I personally communicated to him
(Tildpn) the plan devised, in advance
of its being reported to the
Housje. He fully discussed ev
ery jdetail or tno proposed meas
ure, I suggested amendments which
were,! subsequently adoptt 1 and
Uy, while he did not appiovj, he
did nSot disapprove of tho plan. He
was told two things: rirst, 1 hat, if
he disapproved the committee would
not report the bill; and second, if he
did hot disapprove of it, it would be
reported and in all human probability
passejd. After this statement was
made, he neither approved nor disap
proved the measure, and I left him
with jthe clear understanding that the
measure, if amended in accordance
with his suggestions, would be re
ported. He said that there was no
occasion for haste, but I distinctly
notified him that it would not be pos
sible ito defer cction of some kind for
many days, because the short session
was rapidly running to its close. He
waa kept informed of every amend
mene, and his advice was lonowed in
regard to tho changes ma-Io, Finally,
when the bill was perfected and th
jointicomri ittee was ready th report,
Uen.j.fc.pp' ilunton reiused to sign
the repoi: tnless he was assured that
the illjjtd the approval of Gov
Xudan. ihe time oi maKing tne re
port jwas therefore postponed for one
day, and Col. : Pelton, who was sup
posed to represent Gov. Tilden, was
sent jto Ne; w York with the perfected
bill fpr his examination and decision
On is return Col. Pelton reported
that 0ov. Tildeujwas satisfied with the
bill. ! Geri. H union thereupon signed
the report, and the bill was re
ported and passed Whether Col. Pel-
ton tbld the truth or not I have no
means of knowing, but I have no doubt
of ill, because there was abundant
opportunity between the 18th of Jan
uary when the bill was reported, and
the 26th of January, when it waa
passed, for Gov. Tilden to have made
his objections known, if he had any.
He ifas under, no injunction to keep
silenbe, and the bill could never have
been: passed if at any time before its
passage he had indicateel his disap
proval. Mr. Hewitt says that Gen. Hunlon
and pther members of the electoral
cominittee are alive to testify as to
the facbi, and moreover, he himself,
on the floor of the House, during the
life-lime of Gov. Tilden and Mr. Pel
ton, jinade a general but positive asser
tion (of the position of Mr. Tilden,
whidh was ''never controverted by
Govj Tilden in public or ia private,"
or by others until Hoadiy 'a letter
came out. Tho mayor concludes by
sayihg: ''If during his life time Gov.
Tilden did not plead the baby act, it
would be well, it seems to me, for
those who profess to honor Lis mem

How to Cet Kid ot the Crows
Louisville Homeand-Farm.
A Chester (Pa ) gentleman tells an
interesting Btory of the manner m
which a Delaware county farmer got
rid of crows. He was greatly
troubled by the depradation of these
birds, and ail the means to drive them
away permanently having failed, he
tried an original plan. Taking a half
peck or more of corn he soaked
it
thoroughly in whiskey and then scat
tered the cereal along the fence of the
field chiefly visited by the feathered
thieves. Ho soon had a number of
crows eating the doctored corn, and
as they didn't fly away he went to
observe the effect of the dose. He
found every crow drunk, some lying
over on their sides, others tottering
around in a maudlin attempt to ny
He could have killed every one, but
resolved to await the outcome of the
drunk. Gradually the birds recov
erod, and one by one flew unsteadily
.ay. inuring the remainder oi tne
season the farmer was not troubled
by a single crow.

Goins, a colored man, died on last
evening about 5 o'clock at his home
on Long Branch. There were cir

death that led to the impression that
he had been a victim of foul play. So
it was decided to hold a post mortem
examination over the remains Drs.
Gray and Dalton made on examina
tion" of the heart and brain this morn
ing, finding a congestion on the lat

was the cause of his death and that the
congestion wa3 the result of a blow
received ou the head of the deceased.
Coroner Dogle empanel d a jury to
nit upon the matter, who, after hear
ing the evidence, decided that Goins
came to his death from a blow re

his way to this city, was attached On
the road, about ten miles from Ports
mouth, by a white man and anegro,who
came out of the woods and demanded
of him money. One of the men held
his horse while the other attemptid
to get in the cart. Mr. J. was armed
with a pistol, which he drew, and at the
sight of the weapon they both ran Ijin
the woods. He nred one shot at them
without any effect. Mr. J. informed che
reporter of this paper that this vfas
the second time he had been attacked
while going home or coming to tovfn.
The first time he was unarmed. It
is to be regretted that he did not let
the fellow get nearly in the cart afid
then fire at him. as that would h&Ve
been the proper manner to treat such
people. If such a state of affairs
continues it will be dangerous Jto

people, who will not work andexplct
to live off other people's earnings,
should be severely punished if caught.

Volapuk is now going throvjgh
its second and more deliberate criti

article by Alex M. Bell, in which he
concludes that Volapuk does not
solve the problem of universal lan
guage. The system will meet most
favor with nations whose languages
are highly inflected This is not the
trouble with the English language. He
suggests an international committee
of English speakers to suggest sich
improvments as would make of ofars
a simpler language, adapted to Uni

the eminent anthropologist Dr. D.
G. Brinton is chairman, has also Ire-
ported that "Volapuk is synthetic tfnd
complex, whereas all modern dia
lects are becoming more analytic ind
simple; the formal elements of Vola
