Xhe Supreme Court Delivers a Severe ' Blow to tie Broker Through Blackburn, J. EIGHTS OF THE RAILROADS. The Man who Purchasn a Contract Ticket Must Accept its Terms The School Oases. It was understood when the supreme court adjourned yesterday that tho school eases would have the right of way this morning, and the way was paved to move as expeditiously as pos-Bibl- Tables and benches quivered under a mass of precedents when Chief Justice Zane and his full panel of asso-ciates tiled into the court chamber. Judge Judd, who bad undertaken to warm his fingers at a tireless stove, was warming tip on the question of reform. The concensus of his argument was thut when a city was forced to appeal to immorality for prosperity it was high time for It to totter and fall. No one but Judge Powers would have been plucky enough to havo ventured in the surroundings with a button hole boquct, which has come to bo as essential to his toilette as any other feature. "I did this," remarked tho judge, "to give the visitors some evidence of the Tropical Resources of Ion jvcti in tho dead of winter." The stentorio voice of the bailiff stopped further gossip and the case of H. E. Drummond vs. The Southern Pa-cific railway was taken up, Justice Blackburn handing down the followiug decision: Plaintiff purchased of a ticket broker in Salt Lake city in May '81). two tick-ets to San Diego, California, for him-self and wife over the defendant com-pany's road. They rodo on them to Promontory and the conductor refused to honor tho tickets and took them up and required the plaintiff to pay full fare for himself and wife, to their destination, or be put off tho train. Plaintiff paid the fare and this suit is brought to re-cover damages for this breach of duty as claimed by the plaintiff. Plaintiff recovered judgment below and the de-fendant appeals, asserting that it was the duty of tho conductor to refuso to honor the tickets and take them up and compel the Flalotinr to I'ay Full Fare or leave the train. The tickets were contract tickets and amongst others contained this condition: "3d If not so used; if more than one late is canceled or if presented by any other person than the original holder, this ticket is void, and tho conductor will take up and collect full fare. This class of tickets is usu-- ( ally signed by the purchaser, but these were not. These tickets were I gold at Blue Rapids, Kan., by an agent A of the Union Pacilio Railroad company, Si , and used to Salt Lake City and there sold to tho ticket broker. Before pur-- I chasing the tickets plaintiff went to the office of the Union Pacilio company at 1 Suit Lake City with the ticket broker, and had the following conversation and transaction: Saw Mr. Ingalls, who was an em-ployee of tho said company, and told him tho plaintiff wished to putchase these two tickets. He looked at the tickets and saw where they were sold, aud said: "All right; you can sell them and we will get through all right; we Will Limit Tlieee Tlekete and have Mr. Drummond sign them end will give a letter to Mr. Drum-mond to the conductors on tho Central Pacific railroad authorizing thcra to honor these tickets. Mr. Ingalls gave the letter and Mr. Drummond signed the tickets and bought them. Tho letter was signed by Parker per Ingalls, and Parker swears positively that he had no authority to sell tickets over the road of defendant company. The let-ter spoken of was uot introduced as evidence and we cannot tell its oon-tents- . The question is was it the duty of the defendant road to honor these tickets although presented by persons other than tho original purchasers. They were tlirougn tickets and were sold for a less price than the local faro and the purchasers agreed uot to sell them and the tickets stated on their face that they wore The purchaser when he bought these tickets knew that ne had no right to ride part of the way upon them aud sell them for the rest of the way, and the ilaiutiff knew by the terms of tho tick-ets ho Had No night to Buy Them; but anxious to ride to bis destination for less than the regular fare he consid-th- e matter and bought on the opinion of a man wholly unauthorized to bind the defendant company, aud his suspic-ions should havo been aroused by the conduct of the pretended agent; because if the tickets were entitled to be hon-ored on t hoi r merits a letter to the con-ductor was unnecessary; and if not the ollicious letter of the pretended agent, would be prevailing; and this ought to have suggested to him tho tickets would be dishonored, unless by the intluenoe of this letter the conductors would be induced to neglect their duty. This class of contract tickets is valid and common carriers are not author-ized to enforce them. Post vs. K. W. .Co., 1 1 Nob.; Klmore vs. Sands hi N. Y.; Kaihvay Co. vs. Chapman 140 Mass.; Cody vs. Ky. Co. 4 Saw. But it is contended that the ticket agent nt Blue liapids, Kansas, sold without requiring the purchaser to sign the contract. We think this makes nu difference. He took them at a loss price than the regular fare; the Ti.rms of the Contract set out in full nnd by accepting the tickets without signing he accepted the terms of the contract and was bound by them. K. U. vs. Read 37 111.; H. R. Co. vs. McGowau 2 Am. & Eng. R. R ; Masier vs. St. Louis etc.. K. R. Co. 1J7 U. S. The court instructed the jury in to these views, and In that his instructions are erroneous. Ve also think there is no evidence in the record to support the verdict But it is claimed that the conductor took up the ticket, and therefore the plaintiff should recover. But he had a right to do that under the contract and the plaintiff was not damaged as he had the tickets at the trial and intro-duced them in evidence.

While in Montreal I came on in my danseuso act and soon discovered that Monsieur Coquelin of Paris was sitting in tho front row. lie. too, supposed that he was watching the dancing of a ballet girl whom he had failed to see in Franco. At the con elusion of the performance I walked to the footlights and spoke to the audi- - j ience. Mr. Coquelin sprang to bis fuel j and, clapping his hands, shouted: 'Mon dieu, a man!' Tho following day we met and he arranged for rue to go to 1'aris in April, w here 1 am to appeal in the favorite city of tho ballet. "And you want to know something about my ballot costume. Write dow n one corset, cut low front ami back; one pair of tights, one pair of trunks, a bodice, cut verv low; a pair of dancing slippers, of silk' and very flexible; a set of tarltons. The outfit will not weigh over three pounds. "A set of tarltons consists of about a dozen skirts, arranged to lie up loose and fluffy. The first put on is about eighteen' inches loug, and each succeed-ing one is cut a little longor and shorter in tront, The slippers must bo thin and pliable. The too is of satin and the sole does not extend the entire length of tho foot. f "but I bavo talked too much. I ap-pear at about half-pas- t ten in the third act tonight. Call again."

Charles Fostelle, who Appeared in "Monte 0:istc, Jr.," Taken for a Ballet Girl. AN OLD SALT LAKE PLAY BILL. Ha Relates a Running Personal History for the Entertainment of the Read-ers of The Times. Teerless Charles Fostelle appeared in the last act of "Monte Cristo. jr.," at Salt Lake theater last night. He danced so gracefully that he was taken for a French woman. Indeed not a few in the audience thought otherwise, until an aged play goer bitting in a group recognized in tho premier dauseuse Charles Fostelle, who first daueod be-fore a Salt Lako audience iu 1H72. Then it was that the younger portion of the group gave closer attention to tho wonderful dancing by the mail who so masterfully was impersonating a woman. To sit and observe the difficult toe dancing, graceful gyrations and mo-tions and rythmic circles made by this favorite of the American footlights was a pleasuro Mr. Fostell is the most suc-cessful impersonator of femenine char-acters, and there are hundreds of en-vious imitators who would like to slip on his shoe A Times Man railed on tho gentleman who has for years de-lighted thousands with his impersona-tions. The elevator of the Walker house shot up aud in a moment Mr. Fostelle and tho scribe were shaking hands liko long-los- t brothers. There is no denying it Fostelle has feminine features, a gentle voice and numerous other characteristics that are not pos-sessed by the average man. On a table were four photographs, two of them portraits of sweet-face-girls, the others represented a manly boy in a couple of positions. These three children are the sunbeams of Fostelle's home in Chicago. That he loves them is but feebly echoing what is in his old heart. They have not yet expressed any desire to adopt the stage as their profession. "In what year did you first appear in Salt Lake?" was the question. "On February 15th, 1872." came the ready reply. "I appeared nstho'Oirl of the Period' with Pu-d- y. Scott & Fos-telle's minstrels. We played in the same theater then as I danced in last night. In those days the house was crowded. We had lirighara Young at six of our performances and he seemed to enjoy himself. The opening night's bill was: Rait Lake Theatre. Feb. in, ifttt. PAKT riHHT KNTKUTA1NMKNT A I.A SAL W.

"No doubt there are a number of said Mr. Fostelle, "in Salt Eeople," who were present at the above mentioned performance. The reproduction of the old play bill will enable them to recall the occasion better. Mr. H. IS. Clawson was mana-ger of the theater then aud we were very kindly treated. One day the company called on Brigham Young and was shown through his residence. While here we were shown nothing but kindness by the people." "After riaylng Before A paying house several successive nights in thiscity our company left for other towns. Witti us we took Arthur Stan-woo- d of primo tenor voice, Thomas llaker, tenor secundo, and Harry Mil-lard, baritone. These voung men were members of the Kocky Mountain vocal-ists, a local organization. They re-mained with our company for a time. Millard afterwards went to Italy and studied vocal music. His tine baritoue voice made him famous and he ap-peared under the name of Carl Floren-tine. He died only recently. "While our company was here in 1872 my feminine make-u- attracted the at-tention of a young man in the front row. IIo actually supposed I was a woman and became mashed on me. At that time I used the green room to dress in. One evening as 1 was arranging my skirts who should appear but the love-sic- swain. He earnestly invited me to go to his home in some canyon near here and live with him, promising to be kind and love me through life. This sort of stuff provoked me and in those dajs I was very sensitive and I told the fellow to leave. Seeing that I was really displeased ho withdrew only to appear soon after a basket of champagne had been sent in. What followed convinced him that I was a man and at longth he withdrew firmly but sadly conviuced of the fact. I Have Reen on the Stage since lSfi5, and appeared in all the prin-cipal cities between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. I am a native of Ypsi-lant- i, Mich., where my parents reside. Some time after passing my sixteenth birthday I quit home one day and turned up in Detroit. I attended "Uncle Tom's Cabin," by Oarry Hough until I was "stage struck." My relatives in Detroit wrote my parents of my doings and I was at once sum-moned home. Before starting for Ypsilanti I told Mr. Hough of my ar-dent desire to go on the stage. He kindly advised me what to study ami said that he would try and get a situ a tion for mo the following spring. "I returned to my native village and tho stage fever spread among the boys of my acquaintance. Spring came and with it a letter requesting me to appear in Detroit, and I lost no time in going there. My first appearance was in "Black Eyed Susan," at the Athenreum, speaking about fifteen lines, for which I was paid i per week. "For a Few Veers I starred in 'Mrs,-- Partington,' under the management pf Fred Whitney. 1 AMUSEMENTS. Dainty little Corinne with her sedue tive smile and her debonair kick en-chanted a large audience at the theater last night. Corinne has never been ac-cused of being a singer. Her wildest admirers would not have that audacity, But she can kick liko a nymph, and her smile nothing can possibly equal it. In her portrayal of Kdniond lantes Coiinne is given an opportunity to dis-play her faultlessly moulded form to the best possible advantage, and that she does goes without saying. Mr. Bernard Dylln as "Nortier," conspira-tor and criminal investigator, fitted to his character like a summer cloud in an azure sky. He was never out of place and always lent a charming effect to the scene in which he appeared. His local hits were loudly encored and his singing was vociferously received. "They Are After Me" made a decided hit. Miss Bertie Crawford as Mercedes is a charming stage produc-tion, and her singing was very well re-ceived. But the hit of the evening was made by Mr. Charles Fostelle as a pre-mier danseuse of the (school of '47. His evolutions and gyrations on tho tips of his toes received great applause. The ama.on marches and drill, tho transformation scene and the faultless stage settings, combined with a well balauced chorus go to make "Monte Cristo, jr." a pleasing burlcsquo of "Monte Cristo." and is a pleasant break in the variety of operas that have lately visited Cion. "Monte Cristo. jr.." goes again to-night. Tomorrow matinee and night Corinne will appear in "Carmen." The a King. On February 5, 0 and 7. the new ro-mantic opera comique "The Sea King," will be presented for the lirst time e a Salt Lake audience by the Wil-liam J. Gilmore opera company, a new organization which in a single night leaped into popularity by its magnifi-cent production f the opera at Palmer's theater. New York, the past summer aud succeeded during its season in that city to be the most successful of all the operas which were then being given nightly at the various play-house- This company contains so many comic opera favorites that city theater goers will tind a host of welcome faces in its ranks and are sure to accord it a warm and enthusiastic reception. The opera which will be made known by them next Thursday evening, is described as a work replete in catchy and original melody, and possessed of a humorously interesting libretto. The sale of seats for "The Sea King" season opens at the theater on Wednesday, February 4. Some! hi eg We Khoald Appreciate. The Colorado Midland train leaving Salt Lako from Kio (Jrando Western depot at 10 Do p. m., for Denver nod all eastern points, has a Pullman sleeper which starts from Salt Luke running through to Denver.

Second morning, sleeper is set off at Salt Lake and passengers allowed to remain in car until 7:80 a. in., thereby passongers can get a full night's rest.

Logan Journal: Between thirty and forty farmers met last evening to con-clude the organization of tne farmers' union.

Mrs. Marsh, of Payson, was robbed of '.17.30 by a sneak thief last week. She set a satchel containing the money in a window of her resldenco and while the family was at supper the thief broke the window and skipped out with the satchel.

There are a great many wild, un-broken horses running at large on the desert between Iron county and Pioche. These animals are generally the colts of horse stock turned out on the range by Iron county people. Now the ques-tion is who has the right to dispose of the stork? Can those parties having branded horses running on the desert say that the boys who shall drive up this stock can have all the nnbranded horses for their trouble? This would be perfectly legitimate if the stock be proven to belong to the parties dispos-ing of it. But perhaps there are oth-ers besides Iron couuty people who are interested in these; wild horses. The stock needs looking after badly, for they are a nuisance at present, and are occupying one of the best winter rang-es in Utah, to the exclusion of other more valuable stock. IDAHO NOTES. There is a new scheme on foot to take the Payette valley and Upper and Lower Squaw creek, of Boise county, and form a new county. There is talk of a bill being intro-duced in the legislature to amend the constitution so as to vote on the loca-tion of the capital two years hence, in-stead of leaving it at Boise City for There were four men engaged in the difficulty, namoly, John M. Harris, O. J. Cook. Xachcus and his son C. S. Lewis, but the younger Lewis seems not to have done any of tho shooting. The same paper gives an account of tho shooting of Ed Harroun by Frank Hyatt, at Wardner, only a few days be-fore the killing of Wallace. Harroun was a disreputable cnaraeter, and his killing was justified bp the verdict of a coroner's juiy. Ketchum Keystone: Mr. R. (!. Mes-serl- y is a worthy, if not a lineal de-scendant of Nimrod. He accourted himself for a hunt a few days ago. It was rabbits he was after." He found one and soon succeeded in running it to buiroiigh. There his genius as a hunter soon developed itself. The rab-bit would not come ont to be killed. The ground was frozen too hard to dig it out. Messerly cogitated, and the rabbit grinned so loud lie coud hear it. A bright idea struck him. lie would just till the gun barrel full of snow anil let it freo.e, after which he would shove the gun down into the hole and lire it off. That would fetch the rabbit of course. He did so. What followed the explosion was not the demise of the tar-na- l rabbit, but the collapse so to speak, of the gun. The fragments have uot all been picked up yet. Tho rabbitcontiu-ue- a to enjoy itself. COLORADO NOTES. There is some talk of abolishing the office of state dairy commissioner. , The Montrose Enterprise, one of the best of the papers in the western slope, has entered upon its third volume.

Tho trades assembly of Denver have memorialized the legislature to pass a law prohibiting the letting of state or county printing to parties outside of Colorado. They also make some strong recommendations to business men en the same subject. Tho Durango Herald calls vigorously for the organization of a board of trade in that southwestern fity in order that the business community may be able to act more promptly and un'tedly in favor of enterprises affecting the growth and welfare of tho town. A bill will be introduced for the establishment of the county of Crystal.

The report of Fish Commissioner Land shows that there are not less than six thousand miles of trout streams in the state, and at least five hundred lakes which it is the duty of the state to keep stocked with fish- - There are new about one thousand miles of barren streams in the state where it is possible for trout to live and thrive. A proposition is now on foot for the division of Colorado into two congress-ional districts of which it is entitled to under the new census. Jf accomplished there will be an eastern and western clissrict of which Denver will be the stronghold of the eastern portion of the state, while Pueblo will be the metro-politan center of the western part of the proposed division. Tho western district will comprise the largest era of territory, and outside of some unim-port.a- u t coal fields will include the min-eral wealth of the state. The largest and the smallest counties in the state will bo embraced in the western divis-ion and are respectively Routt and Lake counties, and while the eastern division may embrace the better por-tion of the agricultural system of Colo-rado it is in a measure largely depend-ent on the western division for its sup-port. Altogether the proposed line of division seems fair and practicable, however, it is not unlikely that there will bo some tall kicking done before it is accomplished. twenty years. Tne Weiscr Leader is informed conf-identially from miners who are familiar with the Seven Devils mines that recent developments bring to light ore that is from 40 to 50 per cent richer than any ever before discovered. A coal train wrecked five miles from Montpelier on Saturday last. An em-ploye was sent out to watch tho wreck and was found dead the next morning; he was burned up to his waist over his camp tire by the help of one gallon of whisky. The Idaho Recorder gives accounts of various placer and other mining strikes in Lemhi county, indicating considerable activity and splendid suc-cess iu prospecting in that section, and it is not improbable that a return of the good ti.nes of the sixties will be experi-enced by Lemhi during the coming summer." The town of Fmmett, situated on the Payette river in Ada county, has pre-sented a petition to tho legislature, in which is set forth the claims of that sec-tion of the country for the location of the agricultural college site. They offer land and lumber and make a business-like proposition. If Bingham county should be divided as set forth by a bill introduced in tho state legislature, Teton couuty will have a population of 7000, mostly mor-mons, while Bingham will have nearly the same number. Eagle Rock to be the county scat of the former and may be Pocatello of the latter. The high license bill has passed both houses of the Idaho legislature and be-come a law of Idaho. This law requires saloon keepers in towns to pungle up $500 and those not less than one mile outside of any town $200 for a yearly license. It also requires all liquor sell-ers to give a bond to the amount of $1000 to keop orderly places.
