; y . SPORTING EVENTS, AOne-Sided Ball Game in Which’ Worcester Did Ali the Playing. Boston Beats Cleveland by a Close Shave, asud Detroit White~ washes Troy. Hindoo an Easy Victor of the Louisville Derby—Banoraft and Boulevard the Other Winners, Bale nt Glonview, Kontucky, of Thirty- ¢ eight Possible Trotters, WORCESTFR Va. CHICAGO. Tweuty-five hundred people pntronized the secontl gnme between the Worcester and Chicago teams yesterday, and were poorly repald for thelr money and thne by witness- ng o vne-sided exhibition of skill, In wiich tho home teamn took no parl. A more wretched and thoroughly discreditable dis- plny than that mude by the club which lust year tovk the champlonsbip 1t §s fmpossible to recnll In the history of League matnes. It wilt tuke but a few performances of this sort tv thoroughly disgust base-ball patrous in Chleagn. Not that Chicago ball patrons in- slst upon sceing the livme team nlways victorious; they are not so silly asall that; but they have a right to expectthat the home team shall play ns If they were earnestly deslrous of winning. This remark does not necessurlly or intentionally retlect upon any- body’s guod purposes or Integrity; It mneans, merely, that if the Chicago team expect to retnin the confidence and esteem of thelr ad- mirers fn this ¢ity they must work harder to that end than they did in yesterday’s game, People don’t like to sit for two hours and a quarter and sce three times as mnny misplays a8 bose-bits made by a tenm of which they have the right to expect something better, They woulll prefer, ainong other things, that the team Captain, when his men are at bat ad on bnges, shvuld play the bench less and pliny base-ball more. The placing of the teams yosterday was, with one exceptlon, the same as on Saturdny, Qore bemg restored to his position in centro fleld, and Goldsinith golng to the turnstie. Che improvement was very noticeable so far n3 fleld-work was concerned, and, while Gore falled to hit safely, he hit the ball every thme, and bit it hard, though unluckily. Flint's Injured finger kept him off the nine , and Kel- Jy proved to be an lodierunt substitute, Corcoran’s dellvery was trying and erratie for the catcher, and eady for the batsmen, Worcester making the remarkable record of seven two-baso hits,—something which no tonm can do when Corcorun §8 at his Lest. The-visit- ors had obtaided but three safe hits up to tho #ixth fnning, wnd then they broke louse and began pounding Corcuran ut a furlous rute. They scored three unearncd runs | the sixth inning oo a double by Dickerson und n single by Carpenter, a passed bull and a wild throw by Kelly, & fumbled grounder by Burns, and a mutfed thrown batl by Willlamson. I tho seveoth a fumble by Willinmsou, n passed bll by Kelly, n puss by Gore nf a bull In his fleld, and a wild pitch, et In anothor unearnwd run,: a _ total of nine misplays In two inniogs, which was plitng it on rathor thick. In the eighth dou! ¥ les nr Carpenter_and Huotalln, cnrned a rug, and {n the ninth afumble by Nlcol and Durgun's singlo aad [rwin's duuble netted two runs, one earncd. Chicago tallied in the fifth Inning on a hit by Nicol, & pussed ball, a0d o fumbled groundor by Irwin, but nobody hit safe ufter that, and only ‘one maa got as far as third buse.

TILE RAILROAD Adverse Dacision of the Supreme Court in the Case of the Lake Shore vs. ths Western Indiana In the Matter of Dumages for a Crossing. Oomplete Qollapse of the Switohmen's Strike—The Men Resume Work, WESTERN INDIANA. In the caso of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southurn and tha Chicsgo, Rock Istand & Pucltic Rallroad va, the Chicago & Western Indiana Raliroad Company, on appeal frowm the Cireult Conrt of Cook County, an opin- fon was filed in the oftice of the Supreme Conrt Clerk nt Ottawa on the 1ith Inst, Justlee Sheldon delivered the opinion and reviewved the case at length, Ho sald that on March 15, 1830, the Chicago & Western Indinun Rafirond filed its petition in the County Court of Cook County to condemn strip of fand fifty feet In width, crossing the tracks of the Lake Shore and Rock Istand Railroads. 1t was clulned that thisfifty feet strip crossing Blocks 84and 85 was for a right of way. Thedefendants (In the Court balow), the Rock Isiand and Lake Shore Roads, filed thelr answer denylng tho nocessity of the appropriation aud the " power of the pe- titioner to make it, and also filed o eross-pe- tition for the purpose of obtaining damages for property Injured but not taken under sueh condemnation. ‘The verdict of the jury found the compensation for the property taken to be $19.000, nnd the damages for property fnjured but not taken to be $13,500, On this verdiet judgment was taken and the defendants appealed. The Supreme Court held that the objec- tlons made to the rulings of the Court below, compluined of /3 erroneous, ware too numer- ous to notice In detail, und ‘the Court there- Tore proceeded to consider them generally, nnd uxpress its views on the theory on which the case was tried. ‘Fheproperty aver which the ‘lmllluuer (the Western Indinna Rall~ rond) ~ pruposed to fuy Its track was bounded emst by "Clark streef west, y tho Chicako _River, nn south by Sixteenth street. The strip pro- posed to be taken ran’ diagonally frow Six- teenth to Clurk streets, crossing the St Cliarles Alr Line Raliroud and the tracks of e defendant ronds, ‘Uhe defendants owned u right of way from Van Buren street sonth to Englewood wid thelr frelxht depots and wareliouses were north of the blocks named, while nearly all thelr lines extended south- east and west from sald blocks, Thelr main lines crossed sald blucks and could not be comstructed visewhere und they nsed several, tracks on said blocks for fransfer pur- poses. Thelr mnin tracks cioss and the Y tracks Intercopt the St. Charles Road; the wain channel of tranafer for all roads in Chicago und the only vue availuble to de- fendunts, These blucks also connect de- fendnnt’s lines with tho Chleago River, and thus with the navigation of the great lakes, It avpeared that these blocks, beeause of thelr proximity to the St. Charles Rord, were of no special value for transfer purposes, and that the effect of the construction and opera~ tlon of four maln tracks on the fifty-foot strip proposed to be taken would be to ireat- 1y impnir the valuc of the property. Numerous ulfers of proof of this were inade und rejected in the Court beluw, The jury were Instruoted that the right of 8 corporation to use propert, 1o elfectuate the objecta of {ts creatlon consti= tuted a franchise, toat the defendunts could not recover on this sction for damnges to or iuters ferenco with such franchise, and that the vordict of the Jury must be limited to setunl aud dircot dumuges (o the market value of the lund, Tho Court below refused to fnstruct the jury to con- sidor evidence us to the right of wiy and rail- rund property of the detendunt compailes, The Supreme Court deemed thia ruling of tho Court beluw ton confined In its scope und orro- neous, uid quoted the Constitution of 1870, Art. 1L, Bee. 14, and Art. X1, Bee, 14, The Court alio referred to its own decislon in the case of the Chicawo & Alton faliroad va. tho Springficld & Northern Ruliroad, 0ith illinots, p 147, whera it was held that the * just compensation ™ spoken of in the Ill of Rights included cousequentiul damages. The Bupremo Court also beld, in Jones va, the Chicego & lown Hutlroud Com- puny, in rezurd to dainages to tho lundowner, that tho compensation allowed should cover aciunl damugy und inconvonlencs actually pro- duced, but that nothing should be atlowed fur Imaginary or speculutive damages, In the eise of the Kelthsburg_& Eastern Hullrond Come any v8. Henry, 7Uth llinols, p 2, the ‘ourt “beld that tho ~Jury must consider damuge resuiting from’ the severanca of A farm into two portions by a ralirond running through it. The Court guated also Mix va. tho Lafayetts, Bloomingtun & Mississippl Rallroad Company, 07th 1., p &, And on these decls- fans the Supreme Court hold that there was et ror in the ruling of the Court below. The Supreme Court buld that the limitod use of the land vested in the defendants was prope erty ag muan a8 it tho use were ubsolute. “This use wus vested in tho defundants, und, had the petitioner entered upon tho right of wny and obstructed it, that would bave been trespnss. The entrauce of tho petitioner by virtuu of these Dmmmdlnrfl Impaired the value of the pruperty and oalied for just compensation, The record Bhowed that all” evidenco e to danage cuused beyond the boundaries of Blooks 84 and 46 was excluded. But the Suprome Court held that it wua computent to show damngo uc- crulng Lo any part of the right of wity or rall- road vroperty 4s an entirety, 3 mucn as in tho case of u farin whero & railroad Interferes with neeess between the ditfercut vortions. Tho Supreme Court furthor held that the value of the land should huve been computed on the bnsia of Its uscfulness for makiog rall- rosd trunsfers.

TIE SWITCAMEN SURRENDER. ‘The contest between the ralironds In this city and thelr switchmen hns at Jast come to an end, and, as generally antlelpated, ro- sulted i n complute vietory forthe raliroads, ‘The strikers, findlug that It would be uselvss to prolong the contest any longer, went to the varlons yards yesterday and nsked to be redmployed on the companles’ teris, Most of the rous took their men back ngaln, with the exceptlon of n few of the leaders who hnd wade themselves partieularly obnoxlious, ‘I'ne Alton and Burlington, however, re- fused to take back any of their old men, be- cause thess men had begn offered n fair com- promise nt the beginning of the trouble, and, after agreeing to renaln at work, quit any- way, ‘The oficers of these companies say they have secured good men to take the pluces of the strikors, and they cannot now afford to discharge - these men and take back thuse who refused to keep thelr word, ‘The strikers feel groatly discouraged on account of thelr Jil-success, and many ofethem vow that they will never nguin partlclpate fn o strike. The Alton men particularly feel very cheap. They had been offered o sainry when the strike com- menced much higher than the wages agreed upon by the rallroads afterwarus, They agroed to accept the compromise, but when the strike commenced they were Induced to £O out with tho others.
