Superintendent Clark says the decision will not interfere with 1 the business of the road at all. Ho; could see no reason kr the removal; of the company's f.hops to Council' Blull's. Neither he nor Mr. Popple-ton,' Popple-ton,' the legal adviser of the company, thought that Omaha would be injured by the operation of the decision. Jiidge Dillon, of the Iowa circuit court, whde deciding the terminus question in favor of Iowa, decided against the position claimed by the people of that state, that the coat of crossing the bridge should bo at mileago rates that is, at the same rate that was charged by the railroad company lor passing over that length of any portion of the ro:.d, and the railroad will ihcicforc retain- the right to Gx arbitrary tolls for trains piisslng over tho bridge.
