Cmicago, March 81.—The supreme court of Iilt- nois, the full bench assenting, has Just fled its opinion, declaring, in substance, thatthe Pullman Palace ‘Car Company and Ike corporations are common carriers, placing them in the same cate- gory as railroad companies. This is contrary to the decision given by the same tribunal some years ago, and affirms the principle the present'state legiSlature has endeavored to embody in a statute, ‘The suit was brought by Luken Nevin against the car company for refusing to permit him to occupy a sleeping berth assigned him, and which he offered to pay for. ‘The lower courts decided that the plaintiff had no power to force accommoda- tions from the car company, and that it was op- tonal on {ts part to furnish the same. The court asserts that the running of sleepers hag become a business and social necessity, and in this view the law can impose obligations on the company, the same as on railways, ferrymen and innkeepers. In the language of the opinion: When, therefore, a passenger, who under the rules of the company {s entitled to a berth on pay- ment of the usual fare, and to whom no personal objection attaches, enters the company’s sleeping car at a proper time, for the purpose of procuring accommodations, and in an orderly and respectful manner applies for a berth, offering or tendering the customary price, therefore, the company is bound to furnish it, provided tt has a vacant one at its disposal.” For a breach of any of these tmplicd duties, the court holds the company clearly lable. pees Re Aerial Cables.

SLIGHT ADVANCE IN PRICES OF STOCKS. New Yous, March 31.—The Post's financial article says: The stock market was generally dull and strong, and prices were higher throughout the forenoon than at the close yesterday. The great operators seem to be making no effort to ad- vance prices, or even any special effort to sustain them, but seem to be merely guarding the market agalust any organized attacks, Any advance that may be experienced, therefore, 18 the more likely be from itsinherent strength.

Coroner Patterson held an inquest at noon to- day over the body $f Uharles Draeger, a clerk in the adjutant general’s office, "hose death, which ocurred yesterday, resulted from injuriés Tecelved on the night of the 17th or morning of the 18th ‘ust. Draeger was found the morning of the 18th tring under the calverton the Metropolitan branch, near New York avenue. The following were em- aneled as a jury: Robert J. Russell, J. M. Kraus, . W. Koss, Joseph Williams, John Bakersmitn and H. L. Himeke. Dr. J. W. Herbert testified to having seen Drae- ger atthe station on the Isth. He had then a de- pression of the skull, but there was no evidence of compression. He Was removed home and re- mained unconsclous for four days. Upon retura- ing to ednsciousness he stated that be did not know whether any one was with lim the night his injuries were received, or how he was hurt. He Was present at the autopsy, which showed that death was caused by a fracture of the skull, fol- lowed by effusion. ‘There was a bruise on the leg, and the hand and elbow were black and blue. Julius Juenemann, who keeps a restaurant on the corner of 6th street and Lousiana avenue, testified that Draeger was in his place the night of the 17th from some time between 8 and 9 o'clock until 11 o'clock. He drank five or six glasses of beer, He went out with a man named Smith. Draeger said he was going home, Smith and Draeger went-in different directions, Sinith after- wards told the witness that he had left Draeger on the sidewalk, Draeger having inquired of him if the best way for him would not be through the City Hall park. Draeger treated once while he was In the restaurant and pald his score. Witness ae not see whether he ‘hhad any other money with im, Dr. J. F. Hartigan testifed to having made an autopsy this morning and finding that death had been caused by the pressure of clots on the Drain, resulting from fracture. Itwas his opinion that the injuries might have been received by being struck by a passing train or falling down the cul- vert. The hat was broken and torn, He thought it improbable that that the injury to the skull was inflicted by a blow. Coroner Patterson stated that he was informed that no trains passed the point, where tue body was found, after midnight. Chas, Reinhart, who lives on 6th street.between C street and Louistana avenue, testified to having seen Draeger In Juenemann’s place twice on the Night of the 17th of March—once about 8 o'clock, and again when witness returned to the place, be- tween 9 and 10 o’clock. Draeger seemed to be all right. The witnes#saw Smith there. “Can you tell me,” asked one of the jurors, “what kind of a man this Mr, Smith 1s?” ‘Mr. Smith,” said the witness, he looked to me Uke a man who had a wooden 1¢ “Idon’t mean about his leg,” said the Juror, “put whether he was a nice maf or not.” “Oh, yes;” sald the witness, “he was a nice man. I never heard anything wrong about him.” Fade Waters, of 229 D street, one of the two men arrested on the morning of’ the 18th for in- toxication, and who was at first suspected of hav- ing something to do with the death of Draeget testified that on that morning he, with two friends—Wilson and Pumphrey—were walking out into the country, and they sat down by the fence of the German Schuetzen park, near the culvert. While there a boy called to’ them that there was a man dying there, and they went over, got the man out and laid nim on the grass. Atterwards they came along to the station house with the boiy. Witness sald he staid at his home during the night preceding. Andrew Milstead,a young boy lving at 69 K street, testified to having seen the injured man lying under the culvert the morning of the 18th, ind told a switchman, who sald, “Let him die. he witness then reported it to the seventh pre- cinct police station, When witness returned to the culvert the man had been taken out, and was being put into a wagon. Officer Sullivan testified to having, with Oficer Slack, brought the man to the station, and de- scribed the man’s condition. O Mcer Slack testified to having put Waters and Wilson under arrest upon receiving information that they had been sitting there with another man half an hour before Draeger was found. They were under the influence of lquor. THE VERDICT. This closed the testimony, and a few minutes later the jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death from fracture of the skull and compression of the brain, “but whether accidental or otherwise we are unable to determine from the evidence.” ee ‘Wills Filed.
