A RAILROAD ANSWERS A COMPLAINT. An answer was recelved this morning by the Interstate Commerce Commission from the Chicago and Grand ‘Trunk Ratflroad Co. to the complaint of the Michigan Central Raliroad Co. against it for selling tickets to commercial travelers at a lower rate than that given to the public generally, The Chfeago and Grand ‘Trunk Raliroad Company admits the sale of tickets and the other facts stated by the roud making the complaint. It holds that the form of tcket sold commercial tavelers is in the nature of a spectal contract, by which the company is relieved from some part of the Habllity subject to which It transports other pas- sengers, and {t Is clatmed that tls limitation con stitites a suMicient reason for the discrimination in favor of commercial travelers, It 1s also stated iat these travelers constitute a distinct class of the railroad traveling public, generally riding short distances at_a time, and'visiting a number of places of business on’ the line of the road, often going trom one station to another by freight trains, and altogether traveling very much more than any other class of people, They also create a large frelght trafic over the roads by the sales they make at places along the line. In view of these considerations, 1t 18 contended that the sions of the interstate commerce law do not leage tickets sold to commercial agents. s ly the same ans made to a stint lar complaint against the Chicago and Grand mpany by Louis Garrison. sea A cl Por.

THE CASES AGAINST MESSRS. STANDIFORD AND COCH- ‘BAN Pall. In the Court in General Term—Chiet Justice ‘and Judges James and Merrick on the Morning, the case of Harry Standl- ford, the druggist on the corner of 9th and F ‘streets, Defore the court on habeas corpus, was de cided by sustaining the writ and discharging the Petitioner. The chief justice briefly noted the Aaverments of the petitioner that he was arrested for an alleged violation of the law of November, 1864, and having been fined was committed into the custody of the intendent of the asylum; that he raised the potat that the ordinance cited had never become a law, owing tothe failure of the mayor to afMx his signature thereto, and that the councils had not subsequently acted on the bill. Be also read the return, in which the point is made that, although the act was not approved, it was not Fevurned by the’ hanger wit his Ob}ee~ Mons, and thereby it became a law. The question Tras, therefore, did this ordinance become a Jaw? 1¢ had been argued that the duties of the mayor in respect to the approvat of acts Were ‘similar to those of the President. ‘The court, however, did not think that such was the case; for the absence of a clause in the charter giving that authority (an act, to become a law by falling to return to the councils) could not be said to be the result of accident. ‘There was no proof that the ordinance nad become a law; that it bad been returned and received a two-thirds vote and thereby become a law, and the petitioner must Moore called attention to the case of Mr. G. W, Cochran, the tobacconist, and the chief justice sald that the ‘same order would be made In that Mr. Davis asked if he understood the court that it was requisite that the District should show that the ordinance had been signed by the mayor, or that it had become a law by belng passed over @ ‘The chiet Justice replied in the affirmative. WHAT THE ATTORNEYS SAY. Mr. H. E. Davis, assistant attorney for the Dis- trict, sald to a Stan reporter, after the opinion was announced to-day, that he did not know what course the District authorities would take. He ‘Would, he said, report the result of the case to the District Commissioners, and he supposed they Would decide after that on some course of action. ‘There were, he said, a variety of other Sunday laws that they might decide to act under. Assistant Attorney Padgett, who has charge of the prosecutions in the Pollce Court, said he did not know yet what course would be taken. “Will you not try to enforce the law Of 18432” asked Tuk Sta reporter, “«rhat is the supposition,” said Mr. Padget, “but ‘the matter has not yet been considered.” WHAT MAJOR MOORE SAYS. Major Moore, superintendent of the police, sald this afternoon that he had not yet heard of the opinion oficially. “I heard of 1ton the street,” Temarked the major, laughing. “Somebody called out to me in a jeering way and asked ‘Whatabout, your Sunday law now?" ‘That’sthe way I heard of it. 1 suppose the Commissioners will consider this matter, and I will wait for instructions trom them.”” Major Moore, speaking of the law or ordinance of ‘1843, sald that there was no doubt that it ‘was properly ap- proved. It was, he sald, more comprehensive and rigid than the law of i864, for it included “all stores” in its operations, not excepting druggists, THE LAW OF 1843. ‘This ordinance of 1843, after prescribing regula- tons to govern the sale of liquor, goes on to say: “And all keepers of stores, confectionertes, &c., are hereby required to keep their usual places of bus!- ness closed on Sunday during the entire day and evening, and for the first violation of any of the Tequireinents of this act the person so offending shall be fined not less than ten nor more than twenty dollars, and for the second offense a like fine and forfeit thelr license, which shall be an- nulled by the mayor.” This Ordinance 18 duly signed by Benj. B French, president of the board of common counc!l; Jas: Adams, president of the board of aldermen, and approved by Mayor W. W. Seaton, November 1, 1843, ‘The first part of this law regulating the Sale of liquor, it 1s claimed, has been superceded, by later legisiation. ‘Mr. C. 8. Moore, who represented the petitioners in the habeas corpus case, sald to a STAR reporter that, if the authorities ‘undertook to continue prosecutions under the law of 1843, counsel would e to overthrow that law, too. COMMISSIONER WEBB, when seen by a Srax reporter this afternoon, had not seen or heard the points of the opinion of the court. “What I care for most,” he said, “1s to Stop the sale of liquor on Sunday. think that tf we can stop that the other things will follow. We have succeeded very well in suppressing the sale of liquor on Sunday by enforcing the rule depriv- Ing a liquor dealer of his Hcense upon conviction of a violation of the Sunday law. ‘This opinion, as T understand, does not affect the law relating’to the sale of liquor. We have done our best to make the Sabbath day one of quiet. Mr. Webb sald the Commissionershad not yet con- sidered the matter or decided on any course of ac- Yon, When asked whether the Commissioners would undertake to enforce the law of 1843, the Commisstoner expressed the opinion that that Law was valld, “I suppose” he said “there will be reat pressure on us to enforce that law. ‘The Knights of Labor, the bakers, the fcemen and others who want places closed, so that workmen can have a day of rest, will probably want us to undertake to enforce this law. ee The Rifles Invited to Louisville. ‘The National Rifles at their meeting to-night ‘will consider, among other things, an invitation to visit Loutsville on the 234 of this month. ‘They have been invited totake part ina competitive drill to be held there at the time named.

Brownwell, of the High School, and 8 other scientific gentlemen. He gave his'name as R. M. Vasile. It took him but a short time to prove him: self a inaster of geolozy, mineralozy and chemis- try, and his proficiency in those sciences lent color to his representation that he had come here to investigate the rocks and minerals of O1 County, and also to get together material for a re porton'ts fishes. Prof. Brownell obtained trom 1m for a mere trifle aTare and vatuable sclentine work, and for $1.25 got a promise from him that, upon’his return to Washington, he would send on a set of trilobites. Having thus won the confidence Of the professor, he began to talk of exchanging specimens with’his new-made friend, but hisoffers excited suspicion and an ingutry.sent by telegraph to Washington brought back the information that Vasile was not in the Government's employ.
